Unusual medal combinations that include a QSA - by: JustinLDavies

Good afternoon,

The thread on 'hensoppers and joiners' and the rare double award of a QSA and ABO made me wonder what other unusual medal combinations there were connected to the Boer War.

One, reported in the Black and White budget, was of a Crimean War veteran serving in a Town Guard. Lord Roberts and General Dartnell served in the Indian Mutiny. Some of the Americans had served in the Spanish-American wars.

Djb has a photo of an Iron Cross and a QSA! Which I've never heard of.

The latest post-Boer War medal I've seen in a group is the Coronation Medal 1953 (Spink sale 1999). Churchill had one too.

Anyone seen any later or more unusual?

Justin
