Justin,

It would be nice to know where those medals ended up wouldn't it? Certainly a special group for South Africa but I am looking for the theoretical group that you mentioned, if such a group exists?

Best wishes

The group to Lt Col C.G. Dennison of Dennison's Scouts should also be a contender, especially given his book 'A Fight to a Finish'. The group was on the market some years ago but I can't find a photo:

1. DSO
2. SAGS
3. CGHSM
4. QSA
5. KSA

Justin,

I can't track down a picture either. Was the group sold by a small auction house or am I thinking about Rimington's medals?
