Also this very, very toned medal to James Graham Miers, the son of Mr Thomas Adam Clarke Miers and Mrs Annie Maria Miers and one of nine children. He was born in 1880 and resided in King Street, Brisbane at the time of his attestation. Served with the 5th QLD contingent as well.

A nice couple of examples to QIB. According to OZ BOER site, Pte. Locke also served with the 7th Aus Comm H. He might be entitled to an SA1902 clasp as well and worth looking up.
There is a page and a half in Stirling's The Colonials in South Africa about the doings of 5QIB.
