A Queens South Africa medal with four clasps; South Africa 1902, Transvaal, Orange Free State & Cape Colony, awarded to 3175 Pte P McKibbons, Scots Guards together with Aug-Nov 1914 Star & Victory Medal in their original box of issue posted to McKibbon in Liverpool in 1919, also including the Royal Victorian Silver Medal in case with certificate dated 15th May 1917 to Regimental Sergeant-Major Patrick McKibbins, Dock Battalions, The King`s (Liverpool Regiment) and a photo of the recipient in uniform. (McKibbins died aged 46 after much involvement with dock workers and the Transport & General Workers` Union in Liverpool and Hull. His newspaper obituaries state that he was amongst the first British troops to enter Belgium during WWI and had been injured in the retreat from Mons. `When Lord Derby, the stevedores and the dockers of Liverpool conceived the idea that dockers engaged on the essential work of shipping Government stores should be banded together as a Dock Battalion of the King`s (Liverpool) Regiment, it was natural that they should ask Pat McKibbon, then home on leave, to be Sergeant-Major. It is agreed generally that the success of the movement was due very largely to his personality, and it was so successful that all records for the port in the handling of cargo were beaten`. Letters of condolence from Ernest Bevin and other Union officials are included with this lot)
