The Hammersmith tribute is equally top quality, you must be happy with this one Regards Paul "From a billow of the rolling veldt we looked back, and black columns were coming up behind us."

Mike,

I am only aware of the copper Hammersmith medal, which was presented to 29 recipients at two ceremonies, on 10/12/1900 (28) and 10/04/1901 (1).

Obverse: "HAMMERSMITH / IS GRATEFUL / & PROUD / OF YOU".
Reverse: plain.
Suspension bar: "SOUTH AFRICA".
Named on edge, thus: "PTE THOs ARTHUR NASSAU BOLTON, C.I.V."

SEE: Hammersmith Tribute Medal
