Sale 19002 Notices
According to In Memoriam by S. Watt, A. E. Judd died of wounds on 24 April 1900 having been severely wounded as a Sergeant at Wepener. The S.A. Field Force Casualty Roll notes he died. However, further research indicates that Judd may not have died from his wound, but was in fact promoted Lieutenant 3 December 1900 and resigned his commission on 5 April 1901 (The Nominal roll refers). This may explain the rank upon the medal. He also may have served with the Xalanga Mounted Rifles. An interesting research project for the successful bidder. Revised estimate £250-300.
