Boer War - QSA to 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers - Died Capetown November 1899 - Whitmore

Queens South Africa Medal with single clasp Cape Colony, correctly impressed:

"2053 Pte J. Whitmore, North'd Fus"

Private Whitmore is recorded as dying from disease at Woodstock, Cape Town on the 28th November 1899 ("In Memorium" by S. Watt and also on the site www.Angloboerwar.com ). Served with 1st Battalion. Commemorated in St George's Gazette of 30th June 1908. Copy of this page included. I have struggled to find his medal record for the QSA, but this roll can be a minefield, and does not mean it is not there somewhere! Medal in NEF condition, dark toned and with original ribbon. Scarce single clasp QSA casualty.
Coll.
