Ashburner's Light Horse King's South Africa Medal Nominal Roll (angloboerwar.com's Ashburner's Light Horse unit page, 'Nominal roll' tab, 23-page handwritten ledger scan). This corps served in the Warrenton-Vryburg-Kuruman district and southwest Transvaal; per the unit overview it suffered approximately 12 killed and 14 wounded, having 'the ill-fortune to be part of the column of Major Paris, and under Lord Methuen, when that General was defeated by Delarey on 7th March 1902' -- the Battle of Tweebosch/Klip Drift, which accounts for the great majority of deaths found in this roll. Recorded in the roll as "died disease 29.4.01".
