An East and West Africa Medal 1887-1900 to Private W. Samuels, 1st Battalion West India Regiment, 5* clasps: 1887-8, 1892, 1893-94, 1897-98, Sierra Leone 1898-99 (2646. PTE W. SAMUELS. 1/W.I. RGT), engraved in serif capitals, punch mark to forehead of bust, discolouration to lower half of obverse, otherwise good very fine.

The collection of Major R. R. Pelham Burn, M.C., T.D.

Possibly ex. A.H. Baldwin & Sons, 28th August 1946

* A search of the rolls has only confirmed entitlement in the case of the 1887-8 and 1893-94 clasps, and although a similar man in the 2nd battalion (646 Pte. W. Samuels) appears on the roll for the 1897-98 and Sierra Leone 1898-99 clasps, conflating the two would seem to involve a duplication of medals.
