SB uniform

Saw this on The Ruptured Duck, any idea where this guy would have been serving wearing a tropical uniform in the second SB during WWI?

I’m not sure without research but think China and Africa. It seems one of the forum members owned a very similar set once. Maybe he still does.

The II. Seebatallion served both in Africa and China

Is that a Herero rebellion ribbon on the medal bar?

 

[JzPf]

The ribbon is the Southwest Africa medal, the actual medal would have the clasp(s) of different engagements. The II. Seeballion was awarded the SW Africa streamer for their regimental standard with the “HEREROLAND” clasp, as well as the China streamer with the “PEKING” clasp.

That was part of the Glen Mattox collection.
