Charles Young was born in Westminster in 1877 and attested for the Middlesex Regiment on 12 January 1900. He served with the 1st Volunteer Company in South Africa during the Boer War from 14 April 1900, and was discharged on 15 June 1901.

Sold with copied medal roll extract that gives his clasp entitlement (perhaps erroneously) as Orange Free State, Transvaal, and Natal (and receiving the Natal clasp would preclude the recipient from receiving either the Laing’s Nek or Cape Colony clasps).
