He was reported as wounded (Bn & Regimental number correct name given “R Pullen”) at Klip Drift on the 16th February 1900, this during the Battle of Paardeberg. The family story being that the boot included in this lot being evidence of one of his wounds. There is no record located of the award of the King’s South Africa Medal or clasp “South Africa 1901”, the early issue of the QSA also appears to back the assumption that the KSA was not issued.

His records show he was discharged due to sickness, possibly his South Africa wound and was issued the silver war badge (number confirmed).
