Thank you for accepting me; I thought I'd join to post a picture of my great Grandad's medal for your collection if you want it, which I found amongst my Dad's belongings after he passed away recently
Medal is inscribed with 4115 G FLATT Pte 18/Hrs (G for George)

Welcome Flattm,

That is a very nice medal.

Your ggf served in B Squadron of the 18th Hussars. He was invalided home from South Africa on 26 November 1901.

More on the work of his regiment can be found here: www.angloboerwar.com/unit-information/im...its/508-18th-hussars

Best wishes

Thank you for that information, interesting. How do you get that sort of info? Ive also got a couple of Great War medals as well, so he must hv gone onto that. Ive got a tin of old coins packed in one of those sth africa 1901 tins with a red front and Queen Victoria on the front, which I need to sort through, some old bullet trench art. Appreciate your response
