In looking through some old family medals I came across a a Fenian Raid 1866 medal (pictured) that bears a a family name on my mothers side. Not being a particular collector of these types of items my research lead me to this forum and I hope to leverage the expertise here to find out a little more about the medal and the recipient. The rim is engraved SGT. E.F. Oates - 2nd Q. O. R. – Can anyone confirm his presence in the Rolls and any related info would be much appreciated.
Thx, John
