Queens South Africa Medal with 5 clasps : - Cape Colony, - Orange Free State, - Transvaal, - South Africa 1901 - South Africa 1902 Clasps
The 1902 clasp was worn on the QSA when the recipient was not eligible for the King's South Africa Medal (KSA) which was awarded to those who were in the theatre on or after 1 January 1902 and who had completed 18 months service in the conflict prior to 1 June 1902.
