In the light of what you've shared it is possibly the same man? It certainly warrants further investigation although the places and dates are all awry.

If you have his CP papers could you please e-mail them to me.

Regards

Rory,

Thanks for the call just now. I have had a look at this again and I must say that I have led myself up the "garden path" here.

I have confused the second Christian name, the CP man is Arthur Herbert Wade and not Arthur Henry Wade :blush:

Sorry about that.You have a superb medal there to a prominent member of the Standerton community, a great find.

Cheers

Some Standerton Commando types ......

Two men wear the 1897 Presidential Election medal, issued to supporters of President Kruger (Hern 2008, p. 12,, No. 38). Reverse with pencil inscription: "Boers of the Standerton Commando".

A wonderful photo, thank you for posting it. I must admit as I sit and look at the men, I have to wonder who they were etc... names lost in the mists of time.
Regards

Gavin
