TOPIC:

Thank you David for taking the time to sent this bit of information. I was not aware of entitlement to extra clasps, although QSAMIKE had tipped me off regarding his service with the KLH.
Am I correct in assuming that there were NOT two medals issued? If not, I will eventually purchase the two other clasps for display alongside the medal.

There was another Switzer, H.A., also in the KTG—perhaps a brother? Don't know anything about him at the moment.

Also appreciate the welcome.

Sankofa,

No, he should not have been issued with two medals although this did happen from time to time.

Original clasps are available in the UK from British Medals and Dixon's medals.

Kind regards
David

David,
Thanks for the confirmation on number of issues and tip on the clasps—shouldn't have to scan multiple dealers to find them.
Just saw listings of your book, Kimberley Siege Account … for sale on ABE—think I'll get a copy—appears to be a indispensable resource.
