Imperial British East Africa Company Medal, 18mm, a very rare and most attractive example, 'Uganda 1892-93' engraved to reverse, with top silver riband buckle by Hunt & Roskell, London, scratch to last digit, otherwise very fine and scarce

For further research into this scarce award, one cannot first acknowledge the enormous debt owed to Lt. Colonel A. M. Macfarlane, R.A. for publishing the result of his detailed and exhaustive researches. The article containing this wealth of information can be found in The Miscellany of Honours, No. 2 (1980) at pages 88-101 (as amended by O.M.R.S. Journal 171/77). In dealing with the lack of recorded information that there was available, the author arrives at the conclusion that unless some further documentary evidence is discovered, it is unlikely that the origin of the medal will ever be known. With thanks to Denis Poole for the above information.
