Confirmed upon the Roll with entitlement to Queen's South Africa Medal and these clasps. Though around 427 members of the Kimberley Light Horse participated in the Defence of Kimberley, significantly fewer also saw action at Paardeberg (18-27 February 1900); it appears that only 151 medals were issued with both clasps.
