Kvart Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm collecting the British coronation and jubilee medals post 1900, and this is one of the few medals I'm still missing. But I'm not quite sure about this one... What do you think about it, could it be a fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'd not worry too much about a fake of these. But, in these sad, dying, days of Babylon, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPGilbert Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hallo KvartDo you have the medal rolls of the medals as well or just collecting the medals itself?RegardsNorman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvart Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 So far I'm only working on getting the medals. I'm missing 1902 and 1977. Should I also look for the medal rolls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPGilbert Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi Kvart.No not necessary. It depends on your focus for your collection. Personally i love to couple or atleast attempt to couple the recipients and total awards to a specific medal. Good luck finding the outstanding two medals.RegardsNorman :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Hendey Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) A roll for the South African regular forces (police, volunteer regiments etc) that attended the 1902 Coronation was published many years ago by Mac Bisset. It lists 255 names. However, there was another much larger contingent from South Africa that was made up of men from irregular units that had been raised during the Boer War (e.g. Bethune's Mounted Infantry, Damant's Horse, Imperial Light Horse, Kitchener's Fighting Scouts, Railway Pioneer Regiment). This roll is in the National Archives at Kew (WO127-23).RegardsBrett Edited January 16, 2009 by Brett Hendey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
