Thanks, Mike.

The seller describes it as:

Reverse engraved 'PRESENTED BY THE MAYOR & CORPORATION OF THE BOROUGH OF BARNSLEY TO PTE W CROSSLAND FOR SERVICES RENDERED DURING THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA AUG 22 1902'

Hallmarked for Birmingham 1902.

Diameter 40mm

There are 2 W Crosslands in the Yorks and Lancs Regiment, 3307 and 7026, both Privates.

After a number of days we will lose the ebay photos so I made some more..... Mike

Obverse





Reverse

Impressive engraving on the reverse. No room for any error!

Nice spot, Mike.

I've done some research on "Pte W Crossland" and estimating how many of these medals there may be.
