• Name: Entering SURNAME only should be sufficient to achieve a result. Initials only of first names, seperated by full stops may be entered. No spaces between the start of the Surname and the full stops: example: J.F.MCGRATH or C.H.TRAYNOR. Apostrophie must be entered e.g. O'REILLY
• Serial Number: Search by serial number. This is always the best way to find a particular person, but bear in mind that sometimes for various reasons, a serial number may have been changed.
• Country: Find all medals and militaria based on country
• Corps: Search by Corps or Service only: i.e. Artillery, Mounted (this includes Cavalry & Lighthorse) Merchant Navy, Air Force, Armoured etc.
• Unit Number: Enter the unit number ONLY - no other details. i.e. to find all items under the 10th Lighthorse Regiment - simply type in the number 10. If searching for a composite unit such as the 55/53rd Militia Battalion (Australian Military Forces) - simply type in 55/53. NOTE: a number only will yield results for ALL countries.

A.SMYTH

Queen's South Africa Medal

Service No: 3222

Unit No: 3

Corps/Service: Mounted/ Lighthorse/ Cavalry

Country: Australia

I am searching for my grandfather's Q.S.A medal (Queen's South Africa Medal). Alfred SMYTH had the service number 3222 and served in the Boer War in South Africa from 1901 to 1902 with Number 3 NSW Imperial Bushmen. Upon arriving back to Australia he was given his Boer War medal. However it was stamped with ‘SMITH’ instead of ‘SMYTH’. Being of very proud Irish decent he subsequently returned it because his family name was misspelt! Our family over the many years since have endeavoured to locate it but alas, we have come up empty handed. As per the above information, I have also listed this medal under the surname "SMITH".
