Hi,
I would be very surprised if the MILES HALEY born 1843 is the M HALEY who died in S AFRICA, serving with the Worcestershire Regt. in 1901.That would make him 58!
There appears to be some confusion over the correct Army number for PTE. M HALEY IST. BATT. ROLL.
The various casualty lists, has him as 3532, but the medal roll for the QUEENS S. AFRICA MEDAL(CLASPS WITTEBERGEN,CAPE COLONY, S .ARICA 1901) has 3252.
In addition it records - Deceased 6th Batt. His death took place at BETHLEHEM on 5/1/1901 (Disease?)
