I took a brief look at both the main and supplementary volumes in WO100/77 and found your man on page number 167 of the main volume in respect of the 1896 medal and page number 36 in the Mashonaland 1897 volume in respect of the clasp mentioned in the catalogue.
The former entry is for his service with the Natal Troop and he is shown as the fourth man down from Captain Taylor, the rank given is Troop Sergeant Major, as is usual for these men, an address is also given, in his particular case, it is that of his home, here in Great Britain, number 106 Pinner Road, Watford, Herts i.e. Hertfordshire.
In addition, there is annotation in the remarks column which suggests possible employment in Rhodesia itself, "C/o Pauling & Co Ltd Umtali" I dare say that might have been a land management and mining company, or, I would think an engineering company, given what was actually happening in Rhodesia at that point in time.
The entry in the latter volume is service with the Rhodesia Horse Volunteers and clearly shows his entitlement to the clasp, the rank given is once again that of TSM, whilst there is nothing in the remarks column, the address shown is W Bull, 106 Pinner Road, Watford Hertfordshire, there is no further annotation in this particular volume
I have taken a brief look at this and W Bull will have been his father William, I checked both RG10 and RG11 for 1871 and 1881 respectively, he appears to have been born in 1869 to William and Harriet Bull, who were living on Pinner Road, in addition, there is a christening date of the 4th of April 1869 which does appear to be him, simply because his parentage is clearly shown, RG 11 shows him as an agricultural labourer when aged twelve years, he was Williams second son and fourth child at that point.
