Lizzy,
George Sheath is confirmed on the roll:

2167 Sergeant George Sheath, 2nd Battn Hampshire Regt (mounted infantry). He received the medal for Rhodesia 1896 and also the clasp for Mashonaland 1897 (see comment on my last post to Clive).

Hi Neil,

Many thanks for that. I thought grandfather had the Mashonaland medal but hadn't realized it was a bar to another.
I'm going to look into this more now and try and find what he got them for. A history lesson for me I think.

Thanks again
Lizzy

HI, I HOPE THIS IS STILL GOING.I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS GIVEN ANY MEDALS BUT MY GRANDFATHER WAS THERE. HIS NAME WAS HARRY CLARKE,HE WAS IN THE ROYAL ENGINEERS  NO 9718 THANKS.... RICOBA

Harry Clarke's not listed in the BSAC medal roll I'm afraid, Ricoba.
If he was in South Africa a few years later, then he possibly served in the Boer War (1899-1902). Could that be what you're thinking of?

To Neil 1821-I have in my possession a medal awarded to a Trooper RC Luxford NT as a member of the BSAC 1906 campaign.Could you give me any further information such as was he originally from the UK,did he die in actio etc?Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

Secondly having omly just come across this website is there anyone doing lookups for people who were in the 14th Hussars who fought in the Boer war?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards Derek

Derek,
I'm a bit confused by your 1906 reference. 
The Natal rebellion 1906 was a different campaign altogether (I don't have the roll handy).

However, the roll of the BSAC medal confirms Tpr Reginald C. Luxford, Natal Troop is entitled to the 1896 medal for Rhodesia.
I don't have casualty details for locally raised troops I'm afraid.
So other than his first name, I may not have helped you much. 

I can do cavalry in the Boer War though 

Neil
