Thanks Mike:
I have been working with the Lord Strathcona's Horse for many years keep track of the survival rate of the Queen's South Africa Medals that were awarded to the regiment. As you know many members received the Dated QSA. The reason I asked was because a have a couple of QSA's to the Worcestershire Regiment including one with a Tribute Jewel that is not listed in Hibbards book. 4400 (on medal) Lance-Corporal J. Neal, 2nd Volunteer Service Company, but his Worcestershire regimental number was 6844, he was the only member of the regiment to serve in the Composite Cyclist Company. Since there were only 177 of the Jewels awarded it would be interesting to find out their survival rate.
