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

Joceph Johannes Loues Prinsloo 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. Sold with copy of the recipient's 'Vorm B', death notice and extracts from My Reminiscences of the Anglo-Boer War by Viljoen.

Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.
