West African Frontier Force L.S. & G.C., G.V.R., 2nd issue with fixed suspension (436 Pte. Bai Kamara. W.A.R.), good very fine and scarce

Ex-John Tamplin Collection.

The West Africa Regiment was an Imperial unit (British Officers & senior NCO's) formed in 1898 to strengthen British interests during the Hut Tax War. In 1928 the West African Field Force and the West African Regiment were amalgamated - thus the recipient (a native soldier in an Imperial Regiment) was denied Imperial L.S. & G.C., instead being issue the Colonial equivalent via the Colonial Office.
