QSAMIKE Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hello Ray...... To find out history I suggest the book Gordon's British Battles and Medals.... Of course they are all in really bad condition...... For the Boer war I suggest: http://www.angloboerwar.com Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Hendey Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 TOP Queen's Mediterranean Medal - Awarded to Mediterranean garrisons during the Boer War MIDDLE British South Africa Company Medal, Rhodesia 1896 - Awarded for service in the 1896 Rebellion. BOTTOM SOUTH AFRICA MEDAL, 1877-1879 - Awarded for campaigns in the eastern Cape Colony, Transvaal & Natal, including the 1879 Zulu War. There should be names on the rims of the medals, which will be useful in obtaining further information about them. Their commercial value has been considerably reduced by the loss of their suspenders and possible clasps. Regards Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray11 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 There is only one that is in really bad condition the other two can have the suspension replaced and the clasps once i know the information. One of them never had anything attached to it. I will post the names and any other info on the medal later. ANS THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP.
