Hello - I have a group of 3 medals awarded to a private in the Yorkshire Regiment . The South Africa medal has 7 clasps , South Africa Belfast, Diamond Hill, Johannesberg, Driefontein, Paardeberg and Relief of Kimberley. However, as part of the Group it also has India General Service medal with Kachin Hills clasp - It appears the Kachin Hills clasp is rare as only 112 were issued to the Yorkshire Regiment. The group also includes a first world war medal - the name on all three medals is H Hasler number 2501 - Could anyone please tell me whether Private Hasler of the Yorkshire Regiment was awarded all the 7 South Africa medal clasps and also of particular interest whether he was awarded the Kachin Hills clasp because it is so rare. Appreciate any information you could provide.

Hi Huckleberry
All looks present and correct.

Hello Dave -

Thank you for taking the time to provide such comprehensive information it's very much appreciated - as mentioned in the original post only 112 clasps were issued to the Yorkshire Regiment and only 10 have subsequently come to light so to have a newly discovered one is great.

All the best,

Andy
