The Queen's South Africa Medal:

The King's South Africa Medal:

Medal Roll: 68/SA/2017
Period of Service: 22 - October - 1901 to 7 - March - 1902 ( When Killed In Action )

also

If he had a QSA......

254 Sergeant J. Kerr

Medal Roll: /m/17017, SOUTHERN RHODESIAN VOLUNTEERS - WESTERN DIVISION

I am very sure that they are not the same man but is it possible as I am thinking that they are Father and Son......

Would love to find the Son's (?) Q.S.A.......

Good morning Mike - I've had a few Kerr's in lately but none that you are looking for.

I hope he finds his way to your door.

Regards

Rory
