That pair of medals would be great additions to any Boer War collection. If you do keep track of the sale, please post the price realised.

Here are the pictured from the website.

It is good to see the naming has been photographed and it is a shame the images are not a little sharper.

Do you think the R was a mistake for B in Charles' medal?

David,

My first impression when you posted these medals was that there was an error in the unit naming. I must say I have never heard of the RSA Police on a QSA !! However, I am always happy to be enlightened.

Adrian
