Thank You David and Frank...….

The medal that you have shown is impressed this one is engraved..... It does not have the usual signs of being renamed and example the edge is not thinner where the previous name has been removed...…

The naming is: 6140 Serjt. J. Maclaren, R.C. - Clasps OFS/JOH/SA01
