QSA (1) Tal (4990 Pte T.Healy. Rl. Irish Fus.).

Private J.Healy was wounded at Farquhar's Farm on 30 October 1899.

It seems to be a growing trend at the moment, I suppose, understandable, given the way things are these days.

QSA (3) Tal DoL OFS (92760 Dvr H. Hayward 13/Bty R.F.A.) 13 officially re-named

Casualty roll shows he was reported missing and released POW at Battle of Talana Hill 20/10/99 (casualty roll shows Dundee). With 8 copied pages of service record, roll and research, Henry Hayward was born in Holloway, enlisted 10/9/92 in 2nd Bty, transferred to 13th Bty 8/10/92, suffered horse kick to head 22/6/94, roll marked to England as non-combatant under Geneva Convention 6/5/00, granted furlo to join SAC 25/3/01, served South Africa with E Division SAC 26/4/01 to 25/2/03, discharged from AR 10/11/08. Does not appear to be entitled to Defence of Ladysmith clasp and also issued KSA with SAC.

My notes say:

Hayward, 92760 Driver Henry, 13th Battery, Royal Field Artillery | QSA (2) Tal OFS, KSA (2) | Taken prisoner, Talana, 20 Oct 99. Note on RFA QSA Roll says 'To England as non-combatant 5 May 00 under Geneva Convention'. Also served as Hosp Corporal in E Div SAC (E7718) 20 Apr 01 to 31 May 02. Entry crossed out on SAC QSA and Supplementary Rolls. QSA (3) inc DoL (copy). DNW Dec 00 £160 | Ref: QSA: WO100/140p178, WO100/273p78 Suppl: WO100/273p266 KSA: WO100/366p169.

There is no picture of the QSA sold by DNW in 2000 but the DoL clasp now looks fine so did someone replaced the copy with an original even though he was not entitled to it?

Certainly a very well documented recipient, for example, he was kicked by a horse on the 22nd of June 1894, the result being a wound to his head, notwithstanding, I don't think I'd rush to buy this medal.
