Hi Carolyn,
I hadn't looked at 'The Register' before, just had a look now and my
grandfather isn't on it.
He is on the Queens SA medal roll for the Manchester regt though, and I have
his discharge papers.
Check on that site I gave you, there is a forum to ask for information and a
description of the actions of the Manchesters in SA.

Cheers,
Dave
