Queen's South Africa Medal : Private E J Heeley, Royal Warwickshire Regiment Accession Number: REL29733.003

Description

Queen's South Africa Medal with bars 'SOUTH AFRICA 1901', 'BELFAST', 'DIAMOND HILL', JOHANNESBURG', 'ORANGE FREE STATE' and 'CAPE COLONY'. Impressed around edge with recipient's details

Contextual Description

Associated with the military career of Ernest James Heeley. Heeley, an Englishman, served with the 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and saw service in Egypt and South Africa before emigrating to Australia. He subsequently served with 20 Battalion, AIF, during the First World War. The unit on his Queen's South Africa Medal is named as 'RL: WARWICK: REGT', but it must be assumed, since the 1st Battalion of the Regiment, in which Heeley had previously served, did not see service in South Africa, that he had been transferred to the 2nd Battalion, which landed in the country on 15 December 1899.
