William Drummond Nicholson served with the 20th (Fifeshire and Forfarshire) Company, 6th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa during the Boer War, and was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in February 1905.

21 Imperial Yeomanry Long Service and Good Conduct Medals awarded to the Fifeshire and Forfarshire Yeomanry, including one to ‘37 Sergeant W. A. Nicholson’, who was also awarded his medal in February 1905 - possibly the recipient’s brother?
