Hi Meurig

Congratulations!!

Medals to men who served in 4 campaigns are rather hard to come by.

Henk

Thanks chaps, nothing like medal therapy.

Mike - I'll keep searching perhaps it is in Black & White Budget?

Here is my favourite multi-campaign group (that I own):

Patrick Ruane: RE and Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers Militia, Zulu, Sekukuni, First Boer, Suakin 1885 and Second Boer War.





A big gap that I need to fill in 2015 is QSA and West Africa (not Ashanti 95) combinations.

Meurig

Thanks for sharing another spectacular medal group.

Regards
Brett

Now that is very nice indeed, the 1879 in particular, which covers both campaigns and I think, it does, in effect, represent the Transvaal War too, really super group, I've often felt the Royal Engineers really are the men who "do and think" on the battlefield and I suppose that has always been the case, it cannot be a coincidence that Kitchener chose the RE, it certainly laid the foundations for his future.
One of the nicest groups I've seen for a long time, but, to be quite honest, I do actually prefer William Blaing!
