Dear List, I have the QSA medal of 5773 Pte. J. Ward 5th Lancers, given to me about 20 years ago by my late uncle who had a grocers shop and pub in Ardee, Co. Louth. He had no idea where the medal came from and it may have been there since my grandfather's time. I will probably use a researcher to find out who Pte. Ward was from the records in Kew. Only the circular medallion part survives and traces of solder suggest the medal was mounted as a brooch. The suspension bar (correct name?), clasps and ribbon are missing. I would like to restore the medal to as close as possible to its original state. Can anyone tell me, from material they have to hand, which clasps Pte. Ward was entitled to? Also, is it possible to source original clasps or will I inevitably have to use replicas? I suspect I might have difficulty getting the 'suspension bar'. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Kieran Campbell
