Orders, Decorations and Medals

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 4 clasps, Cape Colony, Wepener, Transvaal, Wittebergen (777 Tpr. S. J. Sandercombe, Kaffrn. Rifles) officially re-impressed, nearly extremely fine £100-130

Private S.J. Sandercombe is recorded as having died of disease at Petersburg, 5 May 1902 whilst serving with the 1st Kitchener’s Fighting Scouts. It is probable that the medal was initially named to the recipient in this unit, (the 1st K.F.S. did not qualify for the Wepener clasp), and then re-impressed to his original unit, the Kaffrarian Rifles. Sold with confirmation.
