Hello, I've just stumbled across this old discussion as I'm currently trying to research the recipient of a QSA medal on my collection. Alexander Macpherson Blair - this gentlemen served as 7532 Pte AM Blair Ceylon V Coy Gloucester regt in 1902 and then with the CPRC as Captain in Gallipoli before being transferred to 2nd batt South Lancs regt where he was KIA leading C company into an attack on the german trenches near Thiepval 3/7/16. I would love to reunite his group someday. Question is would he have qualified for the Ceylon volunteers overseas service medal too?
Thanks,
Simon
