Henry's QSA medal rolls.





The medal he would have been sent with clasps.

Thank you very much, again! I didn't know that he travelled twice, from the UK to Argentina. I'll continue with my investigation, I think it's getting more interesting. A last question: His Queens South Africa medal QSA, that was awarded with clasps for Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal and his 1901 date clasp, ¿it was given to him because he fought in those places, or because something else, that he did during the war?

The clasps for his medal were awarded because Henry and his company of engineers served in those specific areas during his time in South Africa.

Thank you, I understand.

I will organize the documents, and the information. If I have any doubts, or If I find out something else, I will let you know, and, If you find out something else, anything, just let me know, as well.

Thank you very, very much!
