Hi Jonathan - The medal roll shows him as being entitled to a QSA with single clasp Defence of Ladysmith. It also shows him as invalided. He's not in the casualty list so he was presumably invalided as a result of disease.

Thanks for that Ladysmith. Does the medal roll state what his christian name was?

No, it just shows his initial H.
