apparently there was NO independence medal issued.

A preliminary medal design was instead used to reward  soldiers who fought the border insurgents around the time of independence

is there a  nominal roll for its issue ?

does anyone have a photo of the original Kenya Independence medal, from 1963.

Anyone know where I can get one ?

thanks Valjevo but I don't use Facebook at all

Please just keep a lookout for me if you see one

Hi All

 I am a retired Pharmacist and Chemist in Sydney, and have just joined the GMIC, but have been a member of the British Medal Forum for many years.

I am a member of the OMRS and the OMSA, and collect  "interesting"  British and Australian medal groups. Anything from mid 1800's to ww2

I like multiple campaign groups and interesting combinations, such as  with a foreign award, coronation/jubilee, long service etc.

At the moment there are 2 items that I am looking for :

- ribbon for the King Haakon VII coronation medal of 1906 - to go with a British R.N. group

- a military Karageorge Star of Serbia, with swords, 2nd class in silver. This is the one awarded to NCO's and does not gave any enamelling.

The cross and crossed swords are  in silver with golden rays between the arms. This is also to complete a Royal Irish Fusiliers group

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

with the King's crown, I would say around WW1 period

Hi AndyG

   I have just joined the GMIC and came across your interesting  thread on the O. of karageorge.

I have a British group that is entitled to, but missing the Star of the O. of Karageorge, with swords, silver, 2nd class

awarded in LG of 12 Apr 1917

It is an interesting group as follows :

- QSA & KSA to Albert Buckler - R. Irish Fusiliers

- 14/14 star trio to cpl/sgt A. Buckler - R. Ir. Fus.

- Karageorge star 2nd class, silver - as awarded to NCO's

 This is the one without the white enamel of the order, and with a silver cross and gold/gilt rays between the cross arms, as in  your first photo

Any idea where I might find one to add to the group?

thanks
