Good Evening Gentlemen......

Hi Rory..... You asked in a previous thread how many pairs or groups contained both a Queen's South Africa Medal and a North West Canada Medal.......

I answered you that I thought that there were no more than about 25..... Well I am sorry and pleased to say that I was wrong.......

Here is a list of the people that have at lease a Canadian Named QSA and an 1885 medal...... There are some people who have other medals as well that I have also listed......

The figures at the end are as close as I can get to the totals..... It is interesting that there are twice as many officers than other ranks, I personally would have thought that it may have been reversed......

The only other one that I can see that was sold went for $1,050.00 Cdn. in 1993.....
