Good Evening Everyone.....

Does anyone know the location of the medals belonging to Second Lieutenant to Colonel John Maurice Colchester-Wemyss……
He served in the Boer War with the Royal Scots, was wounded at Tugela Heights at served Spion Kop...… Served in WW1 and India.....
In WW1 he was with Royal Scots and Intelligence Corps......

Purchased some old Canadian WW1 and pre-WW1 British Regimental Histories and found some papers from Colonel Wemyss and maybe can put together with the medals...…

Possible: O.B.E. - Q.S.A. - K.S.A. - W.W.1 TRIO...….

Thanks Bulldog..... Medals may be out there somewhere..... In the books I found his Will, a financial report, some land transfer documents where he and his family had bought and also rented some land from the Bishop of Cashel in Ireland.... Mike
