DNW do not mention it but that Belfast clasp is a copy.

The only entry I have found for W F Ricardo is the QSA roll (WO100/112p41) which lists Transvaal rather than Belfast. His biography does mention Belfast so either this is a roll error of there is another entry for him.



There are some Belfast clasps to the RHG but it is uncommon to this unit.
