An interesting QSA / WW1 medal group correctly named to 21899 Tpr. A.S.C.Hartigan - 106th Coy, Imp:Yeo. The BWM is named to 8/ Sgt A.S.C.Hartigan - S.A.N.L.C. His records show (also included) that he was not due a Victory medal as part of the SANLC - see picture below. However it seems he may have been due a Victory medal as part of the SA Expeditionery Forces - I have not checked dates of validity so the successful bidder can do some more research on this one. All three clasps on the QSA confirmed (CC /OFS / Tvl). Court mounted for display. Research does not form part of this sale but can be purchased at R150.00.        Here he seems due for a Victory medal??.  Naming on the QSA is correct - see picture above.
