Hi

Can someone point me in the right direction to find a roll of South Africans who got the 1902 coronation medal please?

Thanks
Ryan

I have never seen any publication regarding the 1902 Coro medal recipients - be they Colonial or otherwise. I have a list somewhere about the recipients in the Kaffrarian Rifles if that is any help.
Hopefully, there is such a publication as you seek!

To follow up, I had a quick leaf through my folders and I found that WO100/111 lists 1902 Coronation recipients - however, I don't know if it is for Colonials only.

Hi Linneyl

Thanks I have found the WO100 download. It is a big 100MB file of all the units and the rolls of those involved, and does seem to have South Africans in it as well, but mainly British. I am still paging through it to see if all units are in there.

I have also found and now can't find it again (aargh!) a reference to a journal article in which someone had a roll of the South Africans, in something like the Africana Journal, from the 1970's.

Cheers
Ryan

I have a photocopy of an article by W McE Bisset entitled:
King Edward VII Coronation Medal Roll 1902 (Cape Colony and Natal) and King George V Coronation Medal Roll 1911 (Union of South Africa).

I can send you a scan if it would help in your quest.

Thanks Brett, I will message you.
