Today's post brought an unusual but very pleasant grouping to Harry Seath. It's not everyday that you get a three-sovereign group all-in-one. Young Harry enlisted with the South Wilts Yeomanry and saw service with the 2nd Company, 1st Battalion, Imperial Yeomanry in the ABW. He next served with the Mercantile Marine in WWI and, in WWII, was aboard the Shepperton Ferry as an Assistant Steward, retiring in 1949 when he was 68. More to follow once the research is done.

The group comprises:

- Queens South Africa Medal with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal and South Africa 1901 & 1902 to 20563 PTE. H. SEATH 2ND COY. IMP: YEO:
- British War Medal to HARRY SEATH
- Mercantile Marine Medal to HARRY SEATH
- 1939/45 Star - unnamed as issued
- Atlantic Star with France and Germany clasp - unnamed as issued
- War Medal 1939/45 - unnamed as issued

An excellent long service group, Rory.

An interesting story to write no doubt.

A terrific group; I’m looking forward to reading his story. Thanks for posting.

Looking forward to the full write up.
Cheers Steve
