British Medal 1842: For UGANDA - to AFRICAN CHIEF - Extremely rare confirmed single clasp medal
On offer is an original full-size official solid silver British campaign medal struck by the Royal Mint, with engraved naming as under;
-East & Central Africa Medal 1897-1898. Silver issue with clasp \'Lubwa\'s\' (Temoseyo Mulondo)
Note: The medal is confirmed as being a very rare, single clasp award for Lubwa\'s awarded to a Buganda \'Chief\'
Important: Medal and single clasp are verified as the recipients medal entitlement per the respective medal roll of \'Chiefs\' (WO 100/90, held and accessible at The National Archives)
Under the provisions of award for the clasps \'Lubwa\'s\' & \'Uganda 1897-98\' (Ref Army Order 29 of 1899), the former clasp was specifically awarded for service to British Empire and Allied forces that served against the Sudanese Mutineers at \'Lubwa\'s\' between 23 September 1897 to 24 February 1898, while the latter clasp was awarded for general service \'other than against\' the Sudanese Mutineers between 20 July 1897 to 19 March 1898. In practise, extremely few single clasp medals with the clasp \'Lubwa\'s\' were ever awarded- and this on offer is one of them to a Chief!
Provenance: Richard Magor Collection
A rare and desirable medal and clasp to an African \'Chief\'
