Boer War Group – ‘Q.S.A. & WW1 Medal Trio’ 2/LT. P.J. HARRISS (M.I.D.)

This original, Boer War and Great War group of four full size medals were awarded to ‘2/LT. P.J HARRISS’ who was ‘Mentioned in Dispatches' (HARRIS on the QSA). The four medals have different ranks and units,

• The Queen South Africa Medal has three clasps, ‘Cape Colony’, ‘Orange Free State’ and ‘South Africa 1902’. Rim: ‘3818 TPR. P.J. HARRIS, S.A.C.’ (South African Constabulary)
• The 1914-15 Star, Rim: ‘CPL. P.J. HARRISS, 2^NDA. RFLS.’ (2^ND South African Rifles)
• British War Medal, Rim: ‘2/LT. P.J. HARRISS’
• Victory Medal with ‘Oak Leaf’, Rim: ‘2^ND C/W.O. P.J. HARRISS, S.A.P.C.’ (South African Postal Corps)

They are un-researched, but the QSA medal was confirmed on the medal roll, and the ‘M.I.D.’ was awarded to him in 1919 whilst serving in the ‘Special Service Company’ as a ‘Temporary 2^ND Lieutenant’. The medals are in great condition, nicely tarnished, and come with their original ribbons.
