TOPIC:

Here's one which I think is unusual (if there is such a thing in medal collecting...)

It's to William Horsfall Battye and comprises:

- QSA with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, South Africa 1901 & 1902 to 9556 Sapper W.H. Battye Tel Bn, R.E.
- 1914/15 Star to Pte. W.H. Battye, 12th Infantry (Pretoria Regiment)
- British War Medal to Pte. W.H. Battye, 12th Infantry
- Victory Medal to Pte. W.H. Battye, 12th Infantry



I hesitated with this one as I already have a Telegraph Battalion QSA to the R.E. but it is a singleton so having a group won the day.

It will be interesting to read his biography in due course, Rory.
