Trooper Wm Laskey (3345): Kitchener’s Horse
Posted: 14 Dec 2022, 21:34
I have come across some memorabilia relating to a UK trooper named William Laskey (3345)
From what I can ascertain Laskey served in South Africa under Kitchener’s Horse, emigrating to New Zealand about 1902. The memorabilia consists of his portrait, discharge certificate and two military medals relating to the Bechuananland Campaign and Relief of Kimberley.
When he died in 1935, he was interred in the Karori Cemetery Wellington, New Zealand. At the time it was reported that he had no known relatives living in New Zealand.
Hopefully a forum member might be able to put me in touch with a descendent of this man as I would love to return the items to the family.
