A clasp inscribed "Driefontein" will be granted to all troops with Army Headquarters and Lieutenant-General French's column i.e. the left and centre columns, which advanced from Poplar Grove on March 10th, 1900.

This would certainly be very rare as a single clasp. DNW is listing such a QSA but, on further reading, the recipient 13035 Cpl. R. Carruthers, 85th Bty. R.F.A. is also entitled to CC and SA02. He was invalided in 1900 and must have returned to SA.

David,
Good research, if a single clasp it would be very rare.

Hi

I have a QSA with a single clasp Driefontein, impressed named to C. T. Barney Sto: HMS Powerful.

The database shows Stoker C T Barney HMS Powerful Ref 184.666 and shows a no clasp QSA.

There are no signs of renaming or anything defective on the medal.

However, I cannot find his entry in the Navy Medal Roll at all.

Can anyone enlighten me ?

Regards

Adrian

ADM171 is very clear, a QSA only, very easy to simply add clasps, as long as you paid for a QSA only, there are no issues.
