The DCM group to Gunner William Gibson Ball, 69th RFA: www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...-war?start=312#73234

A neat QSA with Talana clasp to 4276 - Pte F. Jubb - Leicester Regiment. Another reasonably priced medal at $250. No research yet but did spot him in Dr David Biggins "Talana "publication. My Talana collection now exceeds over 40 medals for both Boer and Brit - quite proud of this feat.

Goose,

You've had quite a week with these purchases.

$250? That's amazing if so.

That must be quite a Talana collection.

Fred has service papers too.

Best wishes
David
