It seems that you chose well when it came to a potential wife.

The QSA comes with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State and Johannesburg.

I don't have access to the medal rolls and would appreciate a look-up to verify his entitlement. I would also like to know if this comination of clasps has any significance or was it common for the unit?

Any info on Peake would be highly appreciated.
