Thanks for showing that! I always like to put a face to a medal; in this case one in a group. "338 Trpr. A.H.Berry, Ceylon M.I."

Great photograph and great medal. Thanks to you both. A QSA to the Ceylon MI is one of those 'must have' medals that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of my collection. I would show it to a woman I know who was born and raised in Colonial Ceylon.

FARQUHARSON, G.

REG. NO.: 374
RANK: TROOPER
REGT: CEYLON MOUNTED INFANTRY
BARS: CAPE COLONY, DRIEFONTEIN, JOHANNESBURG, DIAMOND HILL

REMARKS / HISTORY:

1) KING'S SOUTH AFRICA MEDAL – USUAL TWO BARS, LIEUTENANT, ARMY SERVICE CORPS
2) MINIATURE MEDALS INCLUDED
3) BARS LOOSE ON RIBBON FOR QSA

I acquired this one two years ago and, although I researched it, it slipped through the cracks and I have yet to do the write-up.

Meyer went on to serve with the S.A.C. before returning to Ceylon.

It "slipped" through the "cracks"
What cracks?
Surely not Rory!
