    The case was owned by SQUADRON SERGEANT MAJOR 3542 F. STENSON of A Squadron 18th Hussars, formed in 1858 and disbanded in 1902.
    SSM Stenson fought predominantly in the Boer War 1899-1902 on return from Africa.
    He was discharged on the 18th December 1912 it is not known what Regiment he was in when he did.

    Amazing when you ask the right people a question on our Britishicon Regimental history what comes back.
