Hi

As far as I'm aware it is the only medal issued to that unit.

Best regards

Peter

I was reading the earlier thread on Sissison's Horse ( angloboerwar.com/forum/11-research/10683...ssissons-horse#25023 ). Peter's comment started me thinking how the medal to Captain Sissison was named. Was it to Murraysburg Volunteer Cavalry?

I'll ask David. As you can see they are mounted in a frame and perhaps difficult to see.
