(x) Natal Police

Queen's South Africa 1899-1902, 1 clasp, Natal (1407 2nd. Cl: Serjt: H. J. Asbury. Natal Police.), partial erasure of surname, good very fine

H. J. Asbury enlisted in 1894 and was promoted to Lance-Sergeant on 15 April 1897, Sergeant 2nd Class on 14 February 1898 and Sergeant 1st Class on 1 March 1902. In February 1905 he was recalled from Estcourt - because he had proved unsatisfactory as a prosecutor - and was transferred to the Court in Durban. It appears this posting was not a happy one, for in April 1905 Asbury was ordered to be relieved by Acting Chief Commissioner Clarke, on account of 'not getting on well'. Given the choice to reverting or taking his discharge, Asbury chose the latter and was discharged at his own request on 19 April 1905; sold with copied research.
