Boer War Look Up

[Lazarus]

Help appreciated please re George Hadfield Wyatt from Australia who went to the Boer War.
I have discharge papers indicating that he was a member of the 2nd Scottish Horse Regiment.However another document suggests his regiment was the 4th Contingent Imperial Australian Regiment.
I recently discovered in my cutlery drawer a tea spoon engraved "Phoenix Hotel Dellfontein South Africa."I think there may have been a major military hospital in Dellfontein and this must be a souvenir.
Any information greatly appreciated.
Family came to Australia from Glossop UK.

The Imperial Yeomanry Medal Rolls show him as

Wyatt, George Hadfield    41120*, Trooper    2nd Scottish Horse

I'll look up his medal entitlement when I get home this evening

Yours aye

Thank you Paul.Much appreciated.
George Hadfield Wyatt may have stayed on in S.A for a while as he is said to have joined the S.A Police.

Hi Rex

He is entitled to the Queens South Africa Medal with bars for Cape Colony, Transvaal, Rhodesia, South Africa 1901 & South Africa 1902.

There is also a note that he spent some time serving with the 2nd Victoria Bushmen (regimental number 162)

Hope this is of some assistance.
