Adam Nicholson attested for the 2nd Dragoons on 29 May 1894, and served with them in South Africa during the Boer War- his combination of clasps on his Queen’s South Africa Medal, in pair with the King’s South Africa Medal, is extremely scarce to the Regiment. He was discharged on 11 January 1906, and subsequently emigrated to New Zealand.
