Private James Styles, 7th South African Infantry

[Barney74]

Hi all,

I've acquired the pair to 10264 James Styles 7th S.A.I. On his attestation papers he states that he has spent 11 months with Brands Horse.  I haven't been able to find anything on Brands Horse although I know it was a unit in WWI.  I'm trying to understand whether he served with them during or prior to the conflict and more on the unit too.  Below is a screenshot of the relevant part of his attestation papers.  The second line is intriguing.  Does it mean he suffered a gun shot wound or that he served in the G. South West Africa Campaign?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
