He may have served in the Boer War or WW1, or only in peacetime, and could have been in the 1st ALH, 4th ALH or 5th ALH from 1903-12 when regional squadrons became separate Lancer regiments. Also 1930-42 1st LH or 16th LH, who all used variations of the elephant head badge. Any info would be appreciated.

I also found no reference to him in the NSW Lancers unit history.
It's also very possible that if he was a militia soldier during peace time then no records may exist for him.
