Anglo-Boer Oorlog Medal 1899-1902 (Burger J. J L Prinsloo), officially re-impressed initials, nearly very fine and better

He joined the Middelburg Commando in May 1901, just short of his 16th birthday. Blackwood Camp - 15 kilometres north of Balmoral - is noted in his service application and it is likely that he started his commando-life there; General Benjamin Johannes Viljoen encamped at Blackwood for a period from 24 April 1901.
