I've seen a few inconsistencies with the Medal Roll and people who claimed to have received the Medal. Having assumed this was an embelishment I now find reference in the Regimental History that make me think again.
"...the 12th was the day of the Durbar. Captain Hastings, D.S.O., Lieutenants Heelis and Tillard, with 72 other ranks representing the battalion in the Durbar Amphitheatre..."
The three officers cannot be seen in the roll!
Any thoughts?
