Greetings Gents,

I have been meaning to share my one and only example of a QSA (two clasps). As I have often mentioned I don't really see myself as a medal collectors, however due to being raised with almost no family history I found myself being drawn to collect medals to my family name of Shadbolt. I now have a few but this is the only ABW example.

27641 Sapper Frederick J. Shadbolt Royal Engineers.

In the unlikely event any member spots a medal for sale (any period) to a Shadbolt, I would be most grateful to hear from you.

Cheerio,

Roy

Collecting/wanted ABW insignia if anyone has some spares?

Very nice, a nineteen year old bricklayer from London upon joining the Royal Engineers in 1893, as far as the Anglo Boer War was concerned, he briefly served in South Africa, as a telegraphist.
His next of kin is shown as his brother, a certain W Shadbolt, at number 95 Wyndham Road Camberwell.
A really lovely example, I would certainly be very pleased with it.

Hello Frank,

Thank you for both your kind words and additional information, very helpful.

Yes a splendid example and I was very pleased indeed to include this in my 'Shadbolt' medal collection (did I mentioned I wasn't a medal collector... ..)

Cheerio,

Roy
