I have one but they're pretty hard to find. Regards David The following user(s) said Thank You: QSAMIKE

QSAMIKE Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 5888 Thank you received: 1984	Good Morning David...... Sorry no but my "M" Battery does not have the RoM bar...... My theme is trying to get at least one QSA to every unit that served in SA....... Of course it is an impossible task but it is a task......

Good heavens Mike, what a magnificent example, a most interesting recipient with very considerable service, over ten years in India, Thomas Hubbard had been a member of the Corps of Commissionaires, thoroughly trustworthy, he died of senile decay, hardly fair, but, then life can be like that.
