He served in Egypt 1891-92 and then the East Indies for 6 years 1892-98, and was awarded the India Medal with clasp “Punjab Frontier 1897-98”. Following some home service he proceeded to South Africa and served during the Boer War for nearly 3 years 1899-1902. For this service he was awarded the QSA and KSA. Following his discharge, he rejoined the army seeing some service with the Royal Engineers for a short time. He volunteered during the First World War but did not see service overseas, thus his group of 3 medals represents his full entitlement. Note the different service number on the KSA, which is consistent with the medal roll. Likely a clerical error in the records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phalanx Militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53749982396729,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/3557\/6377\/files\/IMG-7272_d961f380-740f-409e-8c84-f7d0209855da.heic?v=1783632851","url":"https:\/\/phalanxmilitaria.com\/products\/british-victorian-campaign-medal-group-devonshire-regiment-tucker","provider":"Phalanx Militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
