Good Evening Gentlemen.......
EDWARD McKENZIE McINTOSH In 1989 I purchase from a very old friend Eugene Ursuall from one of his catalogues a QSA/KSA pair named to E. M. McIntosh (on the QSA) and E. Mc-McIntosh on the KSA..... They were to 100 Sergeant E. M. McIntosh Cape Police 2nd Division with the bars Defence of Kimberly and Orange Free State...... According to my records this was the very first Cape Police medal that I had ever purchased..... I liked them because they were a pair, had Defence of Kimberly and were to a police man..... I also checked our Forum Founder and Owner, David J. Biggins, book on the Defence of Kimberly when it was published in 2010...... McIntosh was listed there confirming as correct the QSA/KSA in my collection..... In David's book (and I suggest if you don't have one get one as soon as you can) it also lists in there McIntosh was also entitled to The Cape of Good Hope General Service Medal with bar Bechuanaland..... This was confirmed on published medal roll of Colin R. Owen...... Which has him listed as 100 Private Cape Police...... I was a bit disappointed that the group had been broken but I said to myself that I have at least 2/3rds of the group and being mainly a QSA collector that was the most important part (LOL) ...... I never thought that I would ever see the CGHGSM...... In 2013 I posted them on this forum and received some information from fellow member Cape Police who by his posts and his forum name is a specialist in the Cape Police...... Skip to this morning...... Nice sunny Sunday morning and while reading the ABW Forum postings that took place while I was in the land of nod..... Thing I do first every day...... While reading the forum I got a notice that I had a new email from Liverpool Medals, I am sure that a number of you may have gotten the same email...... Eventually I went to read it and it was notice of some new medals they had just posted..... I was going to delete it because I have spent toooooo much on singles and groups over the last couple of months and needed to build up my medal fund...... Well I did look and I am glad that I did..... Product Code: J4837 Cape of Good Hope – bar Bechuanaland, 100 Sergeant E. M. McIntosh, Cape Police....... The odd thing is on Owen's roll he is listed as Private.... I just about fell over the cat rushing into my office to get my credit card..... I was not going to miss this one...... I am happy to say that It will be joining its brothers very soon..... Yes a very good day, maybe I should go to church this afternoon....... Mike Here is a picture from Liverpool's listing when it arrives I will post photos of the group.....
