| Notes: | MMP. Formerly 12 Lancers, transferred to MMP 15/7/1899. He has the same No. as Sgt James White MFP. Extract from the Northern Weekly Gazette 8 September 1900. He is named in an advert for a silver pocket watch costing 60/- available from J G Graves, Dept. Division Street, Sheffield. On Lord Roberts' Staff. Sir, The "Express" English lever watch I bought about 12months ago I have had with me throughout the campaign, I have been with Lord Roberts' Staff from Modder River to Pretoria and although the glass has been broken it has kept correct time. I consider it has stood one of the most trying tests a watch could undergo. (To see advert look at "It Pays to Advertise." |
