Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Colonial Auxiliary Forces Long Service Medal, V.R. (Private. J. Chamberland 9th Regiment) edge cut at 9 o’clock, light contact marks, nearly very fine £70-£90

The 9th (Voltigeurs of Quebec) Regiment was based variously at Calgary and Cleichen during the North West Canada operations of 1885, the recipient being a member of No. 2 Company. Interestingly, two other Chamberlands, presumably brothers, served in the same Company at this time.
