Thomas Symmonds Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I agree - very impressive, and a few close ups would be great. For me I interested in group awards with a QSA in them... regards Thomas

Hi Mike I have an engraving shop make them.... When they have some scraps they let me know and engrave them for me a $00.05 per letter instead of the usual $00.25 per letter and cost of material which since it is a scrap its free.... Mike

Mervyn Mitton Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Mike - a nice pair. The Canadian Scouts must have been quite small in number ? You will probably find that the sh. flashes ended up on the slouch hats. Many of our local units had them cut out of sheet brass by local jewellers. He must have taken discharge in Sth. Africa to have still been here for the 1906 Bambatha Rebellion - with his previous Scout's service he was just right for the Rangers.
