Harry Breward enlisted at Pietermaritzburg on 12 January 1901 and served as Farrier Sergeant with Menne’s Scouts until discharged on 14 January 1902.

This corps did excellent and often very daring work in the Transvaal, chiefly in the neighbourhood of the Natal and Delagoa Railways during the second phase of the war. Night expeditions were numerous, and as the force employed was generally very slender, the true qualities of scouts had to be exhibited.

Sold with copied medal roll extracts.
