I was equally surprised and delighted (with a tight auction budget) to have won this QSA to 2997 Private A. Lorde for £140 hammer today at M & E.
I can only assume that this good fortune was enabled by the abundance of riches available today. Some fantastically rare units.

Preliminary searches may reveal a brother/relative serving alongside the recipient, and further service within the empire's conflicts. Hopefully, I will be able to find out more.

I might be able to further the interest of my other half in my medal collecting now. She is of Jamaican ancestry, so this regiment has long been a life target for me.
