PRIVATE/GUNNER W. PRIOR, 2ND BATTALION HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT AND ROYAL ARTILLERY. Four: Queen’s South Africa Medal, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Johannesburg (officially impressed 8765 Private, 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment) King’s South Africa Medal, 2 clasps (officially impressed 8765 Private, Hampshire Regiment) British War and Victory Medals (155234 Gunner, Royal Artillery). Couple of small patches of corrosion to obverse rim and reverse of Victory Medal, otherwise generally Extremely Fine, the Queen’s South Africa Medal with pronounced dates “1899 1900” in reverse field (this is the clearest example of the shadow dates that I have ever seen on a QSA).
