British War and Victory Medals, (Lt. W. H. Rhoades.);

Group loose, some surface heat/fire damage to the first two, good fine thus, trio extremely fine,

M&E say William H. Rhoades served as a Trooper with the 2nd Battalion, Life Guards, in the Second Anglo-Boer War, and is confirmed on the QSA medal roll, but with entitlement to a 5-clasp medal (and not, the clasp to Wittebergen). The KSA roll adds the additional details that he served as part of the Army Signalling Staff.
