TOPIC:

DCM Medals are advertising a QSA and renamed Natal 1906 pair to R D F Nicolls.

His medal is named with his initials and surname as is usual for civilians.

He served in the Army Stationery Department (Wo100/299p158)



The website entry states:

Queen’s South Africa, no clasp – simply named to R. D. F. Nicholls.

He is just about on a roll of his own – showing service with Army Stationery Department at Pietermartizburg.

A very rare designation/unit.

Medal about GVF.

Initial research shows that Nicholls served in the Civil Service and Post Office before the Boer War.

In 1903, he is recorded as travelling to Durban.

WITH : a renamed Natal 1906 with dated clasp, named to him in running script as Qtrmaster and Lieut. in the Natal Field Artillery. This is correct on the roll.
