Good Afternoon Everyone.....

Had been searching for a QSA to the 14th Hussars for a while now and in the matter of two months I am able to obtain two which covers nearly all bars that the regiment is entitled to.....

DALBY, J

REG. NO.: 2753
RANK: PRIVATE

REGT: 14TH HUSSARS ("B" Squadron)
BARS: RELIEF OF KIMBERLEY, PAARDEBERG, DRIEFONTEIN, SOUTH AFRICA 1901

and today

WILSON, J.

REG. NO.: 3544
RANK: PRIVATE

REGT: 14TH HUSSARS ("A" Squadron)
BARS: CAPE COLONY, TUGELA HEIGHTS, ORANGE FREE STATE, RELIEF OF LADYSMITH, JOHANNESBURG, DIAMOND HILL, BELFAST

I hate to say that the Wilson medal has been plated and some of the plating has worn off, you can read the naming but it cannot be photographed and I tried.....

Also Wilson was sent home in June of 1901 and I think that he should be entitled to the South Africa 1901 which would bake this an 8 bar medal..... My only one......

Hello Mike

Wilson earned a KSA so "just" a 7 clasper - very nice though despite the plating.

I echo Meurig's opinion of Wilson's medal. Is it possible to 'unplate' a medal?

Good Morning Brett.....

The plating job must not have been very well done as it is slowly coming off am hoping that it may come off by itself......

Otherwise I am not sure it can be done.....
