Served with Colonial Scouts 22.12.99- 5.11.00

Bethune’s Mounted Infantry (number 950) 7.11.00-15.12.00

Menne’s Scouts (number 28) 16.12.00 – 3.12.01

Scottish Horse (number 36976) 10.1.02-31.5.02

Note: Medal roll confirms Jens Henrich Schumens service but his name is continuously misspelt and he appears as many variations “Gens, Jas, Jos, James and Schuman, Schumman, Schummen” and it is for this reason we can see why he has clearly erased his surname off the medals and the first initial is altered to a J on his KSA. Luckily his service number and all other details have been left alone and the medal rolls link and confirm his group. Outstanding service.
