This was one of the gems from the Aubrey's Auction........

The medal pair to J Montgomery is in fact to "Arthur John Montgomery" whose manuscript was eloquently transcribed by Dean McCleland in the book "On Imperial Service with the 10th Hussars during the Boer War".


3786 Trooper Arthur John Montgomery, 10th Hussars

Through Deans work we are able to know more about the events of the sinking of the Transport Ship "Ismore" as detailed by Neville in the post:
www.angloboerwar.com/forum/13-miscellany...re-3rd-december-1899

There is also an excellent account of the events at Sanna's Post:
thecasualobserver.co.za/j-montgomery-deadly-ambush-sannas-post/

Quite the little gem.....which is how Dean described Arthurs manuscript in the beginning of his book:
Speak my name so that I may live again
