205270 Spr. Robert Riddagh Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force Canadian Engineers Recently I obtained my grandfathers war records from the 1st World War. On his attestation papers for the Canadian Over-seas Exp. Forces, he indicated that he had served for 2 years with the Lanarkshire Yeomanry as a Pte. His name was Robert Riddagh of Ayrshire, born May 18, 1883. I know that he emigrated to Canada about 1913 and went back to Europe as a Sapper during WW1. In some of his personal effects is an odd brooch shaped like a horseshoe and engraved on the flat of the shoe is "So. Africa, 1900". I'm wondering if he could have served in South Africa?
