I would like to have a replica medal made for my Husband, his Grandfather Percy Richard Cuming was awarded the Queens South Africa Medal with five clasps. How do I find out which five clasps he was awarded?
Helen Cuming

Did he serve with the 4th Queensland Mounted Infantry/Imperial Bushmen?

That is the only PR Cuming on the medals on Ancestry.

This man earned four, not five, clasps - Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal and South Africa 1901.

The Australian War Memorial site has more information on individuals: www.awm.gov.au/

Yes he did belong 4th mounted imperial Bushman . Thank you so much for sorting this out for me. On a form Percy filled out he put 5! Any way I can now go ahead and have the medal made. Helen Cuming

Helen,

Here is the documentation from the National Archives to confirm the clasps:
