Provenance: Tinlin Collection, Glendining’s, December 1965.

C. J. Ridout attested for the Devonshire Regiment and served with the 1st Battalion in South Africa at Elandslaagte and the Defence of Ladysmith, before transferring to the 2nd Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (also entitled to the King’s South Africa Medal). This combination of clasps is unique to a medal named to the Middlesex Regiment.

Sold with copied medal roll extract which states ‘Replacement 18/2/24’. However, the naming style on this medal suggests that this is the recipient’s original medal.
