thanks for your prompt reply Neil,
yes it is actual medal, I've started to see if I can source the correct clasp to add to the medal, will also
chase up 9th lancers to see if any more info on W Chilvers
I also have an identical medal named to Troopr. A. Gray M.R.F.
not a relative but if you able to provide his medal roll details I'd appreciate it.
Colin

neil,
I would like to take you up on that offer of lookup.
My grandfather was, I am told, in the Army 22 years. His name was hugh hepburn,serving around boar war years. The regiment, we think, although can't be certain, was 51st Highland infantry could have been(light).He was his regiments pipe major.He had a chest full of medals, but I only saw one photo of him,in civies, in a pipeband in Aberdeen. Hope you can find him,it would be very much appreciated.
kind regards,
Nora.

Hi JH... my father recently dug out some medals he had been sent by a relative years ago. Apart from the 1882 Egypt Medal and associated Khedive Star, there is the South Africa Medal (undated but with the crossed shields and assegais indicating the 1877-1879 campaign). The edge detail is a bit difficult to read, but seems to be for C/3417, Lance Cpl F. Howard. We think this is Frank Joseph Howard, who represents a bit of a dead end in our genealogical search down that branch of my father's family. If you could find anything that would be really wonderful. Thanks!
John
The British South Africa Medal Roll is a record of all men who fought in the early Rhodesian Campaigns of 1830, 1893, 1896 and 1897.
If you believe any of your ancentors were there, send me a note of the surname and initials, regimental number and name of regiment I'll see what we can find.
If you don't have the military information, I'll see what can be done with only the surname and initials.

Hello, I have my great-grandfather's British South Africa Medal, and wondered if there is any more information about him on the roll. It is the Rhodesia 1896 one - with no clasp, just the ribbon - and the engraving on the edge is Trooper J A E Roberts S F F. I presume this means Salisbury Field Force, but can anyone tell me what they did? I have only found information on the Bulawayo Field Force, so I presume this means he was a farmer or settler and not part of the police force. I have records of him settling in Pietermaritzburg both before and after this time, so I'm not quite sure how he came to be in Rhodesia. Was there some kind of army conscription, or would this have been volunteer settlers? With no clasp attached, I also assume he was only active in the one campaign. If anyone has any information, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
