Dear David Ward,
The A.E. Bingham, 3259 was awarded the QSA with clasps Cape Colony and
South Africa 1902.
There are 2 other Binghams #7652, W. and #2069, W.
There are 12 Ward, 5 Savage, #9925 Kendall, A. and #7566 Dunkley, G.
If you want scans of the pages for any of these entries, I'm happy to
help out. I would send as JPG files and they would be about 200 + or - KB in
size. Also if you can firnish a first name for any of the Ward or Savage, it
would help.
