1879 ZULU WAR CAMPAIGN MEDAL

This medal was awarded to all officers and men who served in Natal from 1877 to 1879. It was awarded with a variety of bars to indicate the recipient's service: 1877, 1877-78, and 1879. Naval shore parties received the medal without a bar. We have two forum members. Graves 1879 and 90th that maybe able to help with information relating to the 1879 Zulu War Campaign Medal.
