1286. 260 Kneader Kallam, S & T Corps
Clasps for Defence of Ladysmith & Transvaal. Spink's 1999

1287. 485 Bhisti Mohamed, S. & T. Corps
Rawalpindi. Clasp for Cape Colony. Glendining's 1997

1289. 9 Syce Hari, .(?). Lcrs.
Yes this one is of interest. I examined it 3-4 years ago. (Had to pay duty to look at it and post it back)The suspension is a WWI BWM bronze one. ie non-swivel
The name has been removed at 6 o'clock and the new name placed at the shoulder at 9-12 o'clock.
The only name on the roll that it might be is 9 Syce Hori of the Rampur Imperial Service Lancers.
My conclusion is officially renamed after the name was removed and a new suspender added in WWI.
There are two similar medals named to Imperial Service Lancers- I.S.Lcrs but no roll. I think that they were issued late.

Yes this one is of interest. I examined it 6-7 years ago. (Had to pay duty to look at it and post it back!)The suspension clasp has "bullock balls" fixing it to the medal rather than the more normal floriate design.
The name has been removed at the 6 o'clock position and the new name placed at the shoulder at 9-12 o'clock avoiding the area where the name had been removed.
The only name on the roll that I thought it might be is 9 Syce Hori of the Rampur Imperial Service Lancers.
My feeling was that it was a medal that had been previously named, renamed in the area where there were no excoriations from the naming removal process and a new QSA suspender added. Officially or not I do not know.

The "bullock ball" suspender made me feel that the assembly was done at the mint where such things were available. It is the only bronze QSA medal that I have seen with this bastardised form of the IGS and QSA suspender.

There are two similar medals named to Imperial Service Lancers- I.S.Lcrs - that I have noted, one in a collection and one for sale through Burman's I have not seen a roll specifically for I.S.Lancers. I would be keen to know if these two medals have similar changes and if so they might be "official".

So yes of interest!

Note the Calcutta Style "Bullock Ball" fastener




Note the naming up to the excoriations



Note the naming up against the suspender
