World War 1 Victory Medals. Awarded to Private 12560 A C Simons RA. The Queen’s South Africa Medal was awarded to all British forces who served in South Africa from 11 October 1899 up to the end of the war on 31 May 1902. Units from the British Army, Royal Navy, colonial forces from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Cape of Good Hope, the Colony of Natal and “hensoppers” (joiners and collaborators, literally “hands-uppers”) from the South African Republic and Orange Free State, civilians employed in official capacity, war correspondents, and non-enlisted men of whatever nationality who drew military pay, qualified for the award of the medal. This included those such as the New Zealand 10th Contingent, who arrived in Durban in May 1902, but did not fight. Approximately 178,000 medals were awarded. The medal, without a clasp, was also awarded to troops who guarded Boer prisoners at the prisoner of war camp on the island of Saint Helena. Troops on the Mediterranean islands, however, were awarded the Queen’s Mediterranean Medal, while some personnel on troopships were awarded the Transport Medal. Altogether twenty-six clasps were awarded to recipients of the Queen’s South Africa Medal, to indicate each action and campaign of the Second Boer War. They were authorised in Army Order 94, April 1902, as amended. TRANSVAAL (24 May 1900). PAARDEBERG (17 February 1900). CAPE COLONY (11 October 1899 to 31 May 1902). The King’s South Africa Medal was awarded only to those troops who fought in 1902, and who had served for 18 months. Even with continuous service, the recipient would have had to have served from 1 December 1900 to have 18 months service before the war ended on 31 May 1902. Service therefore had to have commenced before the death of Queen Victoria on 22 January 1901 and, as a result, the majority of participants qualified for the award of the Queen’s South Africa Medal only. Two date clasps were awarded for service in 1901 and 1902. The date clasps are normally worn with the King’s South Africa Medal, but are worn with the Queen’s South Africa Medal by those recipients who had qualified for one or both of the clasps, but who were ineligible for the award of the King’s Medal. The two clasps are. “SOUTH AFRICA 1901″ – Awarded to all troops who served in South Africa between 1 January 1901 and 31 December 1901 inclusive. “SOUTH AFRICA 1902″ – Awarded to all troops who served in South Africa between 1 January 1902 and 31 May 1902 inclusive. World War 1 British War Medal The British War Medal is a campaign medal of the United Kingdom which was awarded to officers and men of British and Imperial forces for service in the First World War. Two versions of the medal were produced. About 6.5 million were struck in silver and 110,000 in bronze, the latter awarded to, among others, the Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps. World War 1 Victory Medal is a United Kingdom and British Empire First World War campaign medal. The award of a common allied campaign medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a’Victory Medal’ for award to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon. Fifteen countries finally awarded the medal. We are the only childrens hospice charity dedicated to helping life-limited children and their families across Dorset and Wiltshire.
