Very few Europeans were awarded this medal as the campaign took place while the Anglo-Boer War was in process. Dr Grant was part of the "AFF".

Mervyn Mitton Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 A very good and interesting medal - and to a Dr.. Was he an army man or, a civilian ? In 16 years I don't think we've had one come into the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi Mervyn,I am not sure, first appearances suggest a civilian doctor. I also think AFF stands for the Ashanti Field Force.I am waiting for some more details on the good doctor.Regards,Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
