Hi all. Been asked by a colleague in work to research his great, great grandfathers Boer War medals of which I attached some pictures. This is an area that I have no knowledge whatsoever and call on the WAF community to help me help him. Both the medals are engraved as follows
" PC AMY AB HMS TERPSICHORE"
And the second medal has the bar
"JUBALAND"
I don't know if these are long service or campaign medals (although I assume the second one is with the bar) and wonder whether anyone can firstly identify the medals and secondly give any history of the ship and any actions/involvement it was in. Although these medals are not for sale (as family heirlooms) and indication of retail value (for insurance purposes) would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your endevours.
Regards as always
Paul
