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

Same here David, see you at Outwood.

David,
How the prices have changed, if only I had started collecting in 1975

I included this scan as an adjunct to my recent post in the S.A.S.A. thread but I'll post it in the Talana clasp thread too. I believe only 46 Talana clasps were awarded to the RE. What makes this QSA even more special is that Jackson was Digby Jones's sergeant and was killed beside him in the gun pit at Wagon Hill 6/1/1900.

David,

That QSA is wonderful. I have been looking at the RE Talana QSA on offer from Bill Friar but it is nowhere near as good as your example.

Best wishes
David
