    Everyone seems to be posting items from their collections so I thought I would post a few things from mine.

    SAM.jpg

    South Africa Medal for the Zulu war to Pte. Patrick Daly of the Connaught Rangers. Only 32 medals to the Regiment with no clasp.

    QSA.jpg

    Queen's South Africa Medal for the Boer War to Pte. James Joyce of the 1st Battalion Connaught Rangers. Clasp entitlement would suggest Pte. Joyce fought at the Battle of Colenso.

    Hope you enjoy,

    Stephen
