I am currently piecing together a roll of all ABW recipients of the Royal Humane Society Silver and Bronze medals. As things stand, this is far from a complete list, so please let me know if you are aware of additional names (or have any corrections).

For the time being I have created a "Tribute Medal" page for additional information and relevant transcribed newspaper articles, etc. This can be seen here:

Database now updated to include all bronze medal citations.

I believe I now have all recipients listed, the total number being 93 (8 silver & 85 bronze)

ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY MEDALS

Just arrived from Louveciennes, Paris, Île-de-France .....



Bronze Royal Humane Society medal to 2907 Sergeant William James JUDD, 6th Iniskilling Dragoons, awarded on 15 Apr 1901.

"On the 3rd March, 1901, a patrol of the 6th Dragoons was crossing the Pongola River in the Transvaal when one of the troopers, with his horse, was swept away by the strong current. Judd at once plunged in, and with great difficulty and risk, managed to save the man".

No idea how the medal ended up on its own in the western suburbs of Paris.


...

A fantastic thread, Neville. Many thanks.

Roll now updated with all Silver Medal citations.
