Nice pair of QSAs. Re "35575 J.W.Smith of Damant's" ; second given name is Watson, medal issued 2/6/02 and date clasp issued 25/7/04. On the QSA roll margin is a note: "YATB Town GD". I could have reported that incorrectly as original writing was a bit difficult to read. Could be a story there?
Best regards
IL.
