Important Information

SALEROOM NOTICES FOR THIS SALE:

 

Lot 3: 'The Lot is also now offered with two original photographs of the recipient. The first is c.1910 and features the recipient in a tropical setting, wearing white Service Dress and the Queen's South Africa Medal with three clasps, the Turkish Order of Osmania and the Khedive's Sudan Medal 1896-1908 with one clasp. The recipient's family record confirms service as "Civil Surgeon and Honorary Bimbashi, Egyptian Army, Khedives Sudan Medal 1896-1908 with Bahr el Ghazal 1900-02 bar."  It has been brought to our attention that the recipient does not appear to feature on the rolls of the two Khedive's Medals offered, perhaps owing to his civilian status. Either way, the Lot is sold as viewed.'

Lot 53: 'It has been brought to our attention that the recipient was not in receipt of the Defence Medal and does not appear to feature on the roll for the 1911 Coronation Medal. The Lot as such is sold as viewed.'
