Can anybody assist with any additional details for S Conway 7339, Royal Fusiliers.
He was in the Boer war.

Just looking at the medal rolls, it appears he served in South Africa in 1901 and 1902, with 2nd and 4th Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers, and also in 20th Mounted Infantry company.

He's on a QSA roll for the 2nd Battalion, with date clasps for 1901 and 1902;  and on a 4th Battalion (MI Company) roll for the South Africa Medal with clasps for Cape Colony, Transvaal, and Orange Free State.
