Hi James,

And welcome to the forum.
A nice medal which I assume you purchased off Bill Friar?
I looked at it a few times and was tempted

You will find James Henry Hawkins in this link
angloboerwar.com/unit-information/south-...erial-light-infantry
Just type his name in the search box.

Cheers
Paul
