Queen’s South Africa Medal, 1899-1902, 3rd type reverse, (2) clasps, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902
Impressed naming to: 5600 Pte D. Callahan. Middx: Regt.
Toned, a few light marks, good very fine.
Private D. Callahan is confirmed on the medal roll of the 2nd Battalion, Middlesex Regiment, having served in the Second Boer War, however his entry is almost entirely covered with detailed handwritten annotations. The ‘remarks’ column states: ‘Medal & 01.02 Iss’d. Off. E.C. Roll. Sentenced to 5 years penal servitude FG.C.’ and elsewhere is written ‘Medal & Clasps SA01 & 02 have been [lost?] by man. The clasps O.F.S. Trans & Natal will be issued after the Great War when the … … [?] replacement of lost medal & 01 & 02 will be considered. Man prefers this action. Medal Re-earned.’ A potentially interesting recipient and story.
