At present I am none the wiser, but this cannot be the end of the matter.

"Given the limited size of the medal collecting world in South Africa, this is all rather disappointing and very surprising news, I am indeed, staggered and truly speechless"

David G, who does MK think the owner of the group is?

Does anyone know if the Museum has asserted its claim over the medals?

Brett where are you getting your information from? I have seen a picture of the medsls and it is NOT a Dominion and Colonial DCM but rather a bog standard Trophy of Arms one with the usual For Distinguished Conduct, without the Natal words.

My apologies! I am clearly misinformed! I first heard this story many years ago and I had no reason to doubt it. The Medal Yearbook does record one Natal Victorian DCM, so, if was not the one to Farmer, it is perhaps most likely to be the one to Trooper Evans of the Natal Mounted Rifles, another recommended for the VC, but downgraded to DCM.

It should not be difficult to resolve this issue.

Regards
Brett
