Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders Sgt & Family
A beautifully realized family portrait of a veteran sergeant of the 2nd Battalion, The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and his wife & daughter.
The sergeant wears the ribbons of the Queen's and King's South Africa Medals. The 2nd Battalion of the Cameron Highlanders did not serve in South Africa so there is a good possibility that this man served with the 1st Battalion during the Boer War and transferred to the 2nd Battalion prior to its deployment to India in the early 1900's
