Hi
Yonge was one of the first Rhodesians to be Killed in Action
The late Donald Hall bid for me on the QSA in May 1986, and with premium, commission and registered air mail it cost me £155-: with theRand/£ exchange rate at the time it worked out at just under R600-. The Glendinning estimate was £80-100.

In the next Baldwin's auction (23 Jun 15), there is a single clasp Rhodesia for sale. Named to 12498 Tpr C Olney, 67th Coy 18th Impl: Yeo;

It is verified as a single clasp medal on WO100/127p184, The note says 'Died - Victoria'. That's curious.

"Pleasing VF". Estimate £280-320.
