That is a very common combination of medals for men who lived in late Colonial Natal. Your example has the added advantage of being to a man who presumably came to South Africa during the Boer War and then settled here afterwards. I have seen many other QSA/1906 Rebellion combinations, but yours is the first with a Canadian Scouts QSA.

Mike,

A wonderful Pair of medals. Quite common to the Natal Police and other units as Brett mentions but this is special with the QSA named up to the Canadian Scouts.

Nice to see

Regards
