Pte.J.Morrison got around a bit! Colin Walker's Siege Register tells us that he was present on the "wasp" truck ; part of the armoured train at its engagement on 14th October, four miles North of Mafeking. He served in the Mafeking Railway Vols, Nesbitt's Horse and as 62 in Aberdeen DMT. I recall that Rennie Alcock had a DofM clasp - might still have.

Many thanks IL,

An original DoM clasp is still available at £225 which isn't a bad price.

QSA (1) DoM (F. Jacobs. Mafeking Town Gd:).

Private F. Jacobs was slightly wounded at Mafeking on 21 March 1900.

This is the medal to J Morrison Marshalls Horse previously posted here. It has resurfaced and now has only the DOM clasp as indicated on the rolls. I purchased it ignorance of the previous posts and now am having second thoughts. However the clasp looks OK to me now. Do you think it has been replaced with an original or is this the same Dixons copy? Still has the same ribbon.

For purpose of comparison, I attach a pic of the DofM single clasp to "A.E.Stewart, Mafeking Town Gd". The lettering on the clasp you show looks OK to me.
