Hello Brett,
I agree with David, that is a lovely group, the ribbon, is, I feel for certain medals completely wrong unless it is the original silk, the 1914/1914-15 star and allied victory medal are two good examples.
Regards Frank

Thanks to you rather than apologies from you are in order. This is a lovely group.

The silk ribbon on the 1914-15 Star looks amazing too. It is becoming a rare and expensive commodity these days.

Best wishes

The list issued by Steve Sewell caught my attention as it included a single clasp Talana to the KRRC.

The QSA was awarded to Col Sgt J Hamilton. He was a survivor of the Warren Hastings and was wounded at Talana, being invalided in April 1900.

David, yet ANOTHER QSA that would fit well in my collection! Thank you for showing it.

Regards
Brett

David - I spotted this too and was very interested. However, my interest cooled a little when I was unable to find any papers on him. Nevertheless a very nice medal.

David,

A set of papers would certainly have completed the offering but ...

Interestingly, I recorded this medal as being sold by Spink in Jan 1975 for £33.

Best wishes
David

Same here David, see you at Outwood.
