Medal & clasp verification: The medal and all 5 x clasps confirmed as the recipient's medal entitlement per the respective campaign medal roll of the 4th (Militia) Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers attached to 2nd Battalion Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers (ref WO 100/209) that was compiled and signed 'In-the-Field' at, Krugersdorp, South Africa, on, 15 July 1901. In addition a later supplementary page in the same medal roll compiled and signed at, Dtthala, Southern Arabia, on, 25 August 1903 shows that the recipient was additionally entitled to a loose dated clasp 'South Africa 1901'. Whether this latter clasp was ever subsequently issued, or received by the recipient is unknown. The later supplementary medal roll is annotated under remarks to record that the recipient had been returned to England as 'Time Expired' on 2 August 1901- more then 2 years after the supplementary medal roll was compiled.
