Orders, Decorations and Medals

Three: Ship’s Steward G. H. Davenport, Royal Navy

East and West Africa 1887-1900, 1 clasp, Sierra Leone 1898-99 (Sh. Std., H.M.S. Alecto); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, no clasp (Sh. Std., H.M.S. Terpsichore); Africa General Service 1902-56, 1 clasp, Jubaland (Sh. Std. H.M.S. Terpsichore) mounted court style for display, contact marks, some edge bruising, nearly very fine, a rare combination (3) £500-600

A total of 51 ‘Sierra Leone’ clasps awarded to the Alecto; 273 men of the Terpsichore entitled to the Q.S.A. without clasp, and just 15 ‘Jubaland’ clasps awarded to the Terpsichore. Quite possibly a unique combination of medals.
