Queens South Africa Medal - 3 clasps, Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein Named: (3199 Tpr. T. Morrison, Kitchener’s Horse) With three spectacular battle clasps Thomas Morrison was a member of Kitchener's Horse and was employed in the operations undertaken by Lord Roberts in February 1900 for the relief of Kimberley and in his advance to Bloemfontein, and was utilised as part of the force with which Lord Kitchener and General Settle put down the rebellion in the Prieska district, Mr Churchill, in his 'Ian Hamilton's March' relates that on 26th April Kitchener's Horse and a company of regular mounted infantry were told to hold a kopje near Thabanchu for the night, but about dusk they were ordered to retire. This the Boers endeavoured to prevent, attacking the force with great determination: however, the attack was driven off, and the little body got into camp during the night. Captain F J Warren was severely wounded, 1 man killed, and several wounded. On the 30th, at the battle of Houtnek, the regiment, with great boldness and skill, seized Thoba Mountain. The fighting at Paardeberg cost the British 1,270 casualties, the majority of which were incurred during the February 18 attacks. For the Boers, casualties in the fighting were relatively light, but Cronje was forced to surrender the remaining 4,019 men in his lines. read more
