    N.W.C. 1885 and CANADIAN Q.S.A. PAIRS, Part 2 Empty Correction......

    Mike:
    You might want to amend your list of RCRI recipients in regards to Lt Charles F. Winter.
    His unit was Governor General`s Foot Guards, not governot General`s Body Guards.
    Cheers,
    John S.

    Just got my hands on a very nice group of 3. A Victoria Diamond Jubilee, a Colonial long service, and an 1885 named to Lieut Frank A. Fleming Gov. Gen. Body Guard. Thought you might like to add to your list.

    Hi Humphrey...…

    The group of medals that you have is a very nice group but it does not contain a Queen's South Africa Medal.....
    The list is of Officer / NCO's Men that are verified to have served in both campaigns...…
