Rare Queens Mediterranean Medal 1899-1902

A rare 1899-1902 Queens Mediterranean Medal correctly named to 7059 Private J Wareing of the 3rd battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment.
The 3rd Battalion was among the first militia units to be embodied for full-time duty on 13th December 1899, and went to Kent for pre-deployment training at Shorncliffe and Lydd. It then embarked on 12th January 1900 and sailed to Malta to relieve a regular army battalion in the garrison there. Only 231 Mediterranean medals were awarded to this regiment and the medal itself is in excellent condition suspended on a piece of replacement ribbon. It comes with a copy of his medal roll.
