Dear Listers I am researching my relative Oswald James CURRIE who took part in the Boer War in a medical capacity. He trained as a doctor in London and emigrated to South Africa in 1892. I quote from the Dictionary of South African Biography below: "... in May 1895 was appointed Surgeon-Lieutenant of the Natal Medical Corps. Four years later he was promoted to the rank of captain and took part in the Second Anglo Boer war (1899-1902). During the siege of Ladysmith (2.11.99-29.2.00) he was in charge of the ambulance there and he was commended for his work. For the rest of the war he was stationed mainly at Laing's Neck and in Zululand. In June 1902 he was transferred to the Natal Royal Rifles with the rank of lieutenant, and later served as major in the Natal Field Artillery." In his entry in the UK Medical Directory, his military awards for this period are given as: "Queen's Medal Boer War 1915; Medal Zululand 1904" I am intrigued by the reference to a Medal Zululand. Would this have been a clasp, does anyone know? Also would he have had a clasp for Ladysmith? I would love to know more about these awards. If anyone knows how I can access medal rolls, or can explain his medals to me further, I would be very grateful. As I know his ranks and regiments, are there any other reference sources that would help me clarify his military career? Many thanks and festive greetings to you all Jo in snowy Scotland
