Both Boer War medals and clasps are confirmed on the relevant rolls (No29 Company A.S.C). Great War medals are confirmed on the medal index card. George John Larkham was born in Deal, Kent and attested or service in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry in December 1892 and was discharged by purchase in January 1895. On 13th May 1898 he attested for the Army Service Corps and served through to his discharge on 28th December 1919, having completed almost 22 years which included 6 years and 5 months in South Africa and 3 years and 2 months overseas with the B.E.F. His records do not show any entitlement to any Long Service medal and this may be due to the fact that he was tried by Court Martial in January 1915 due to drunkenness on active service being reduced to the rank of Sergeant. On discharge he gave his intended place of residence as Basingstoke, Hampshire and 1939 he is recorded as being an Army Pensioner in Highclere, Hampshire with the additional responsibility of being an A.R.P. Warden, a responsibility that would have most likely qualified him for the Defence medal. 71 year old George Larkham died in the 2nd quarter of 1944.

C.C MCGREGOR R.A.M.C.’harles Cameron McGregor was born in Quebec, Canada on 12th November 1860 and he attested for the 40th Brigade at Winchester on 12th May 1879 aged 18. He transferred to the Hospital Corps on 1st February 1882 remaining with the Corps until his discharge on 25th May 1901 having completed 22 years and 14 days service. During this time, he served in Egypt, West Indies, Bermuda and twice in South Africa (20th November 1900 to 23rd July 1900 and 4th August 1900 to 20th April 1901). The issue of the medal is confirmed on the roll, but we have been unable to confirm his entitlement to the clasp.e looks to have struggled to adjust to civilian life as he had several convictions in the years following his discharge, being convicted of stealing postal letters on 27th June 1903 and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment without hard labour. On 13th June 1904 he was convicted of ‘refusing to work in the Wallingford Union’ and sentenced to 14 days Hard Labour. Immediately on his release, he was convicted at Henley on Thames on 27th June of wilful damage to a window and sentenced to 7 days imprisonment with Hard Labour. The absence of any further recorded convictions hopefully indicates him settling into civilian ways.
