Dear all,

My brother has been contacted by a friend, one of whose antecedents was Lt Col C.E.W. Macdonald, an Indian Army Officer who commanded the 23rd Battalion Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa.

He has his miniature medals (see below) but apparently a grandmother gave his full size medals to a fancy dress shop in Canada many years ago!

Has anyone ever seen them?

Best wishes,

Justin
