I acquired an interesting QSA today - it's to 80 Pte. G.E. Bright, Imperial Light Infantry and has the clasps Tugela Heights, Relief of Ladysmith, Transvaal and Laing's Nek.
My question relates to the casualty rolls to this unit for Spioenkop. I recall seeing them somewhere but would like to know if my man was among the wounded?
Strangely his attestation papers are to George Elliott Bright but it would seem his name was also George Elliott Burton (?) as this is how he has signed the form.
I attach a photo of both the medal and the attestation paper.
Regards
Rory
