Good Evening Everyone.......

Does anyone have a spare QSA, bars not important, named to The Royal Horse Guards that they wish to part with???????

Please let me know by PM.......

Mike

Certainly not ten a penny, Mike, but, they do turn up and always very good subjects to research.

Thanks for the email Frank......

This is the breakdown that I rec'd a number of years ago, I do not know how accurate but it gives an idea......

Royal Horse Guards

Cape Colony (135), Natal (1), Relief Of Mafeking (5), Talana (1), Defence Of Ladysmith (7), Tugela Heights (4), Relief Of Kimberley (136), Paardeberg (144), Orange Free State (82), Relief Of Ladysmith (7), Driefontein (137), Defence Of Mafeking (3), Transvaal (79), Johannesburg (101), Laing's Nek (7), Diamond Hill (68), Wittebergen (104), Belfast (14), South Africa 1901 (2), South Africa 1902 (4).

Hello Mike,
Well, you have the relevant part of WO100/112, so you can do your own head count, as a general rule, copies of their rank and file papers are in WO400, but, if your particular gentleman is not, don't worry, his originals should be extant at Combermere and in the event that you cannot visit yourself, they can be sent over to you, although, I would recommend a visit in person.
Regards Frank

Good luck Mike!

I've recorded 14 for sale since 2005 - 4 last year though.

I think the moral is - buy immediately.

I sold the QSA to Tpr J Kavanaugh in 2008 via City Coins, so I assume it was picked up by you
