7 to 8 thousand is still alot of money. Id love to get my hands on the family member who sold his medal, id string them up from the nearest tree. Wink

I will get it back, sooner or later. Someones had enough time out of it.. its time for it to come back where it belongs now. Enough is enough.

In reference to the ribbon buckle, this is the third buckle of this exact design that I have seen on Zulu medals to members of the 24th - must have been supplied by the regiment or same jeweller. In fact, follow the link to this picture - here's another.

http://www.neatemedals.co.uk/medals/campaign-medals/south-africa-medal-1877-1879-bar-1877-8-9.html

Anyone else got this buckle on their medal?

Thanks Saul - I respect your opinion on this - perhaps a very common style of silver buckle at that time.

Hi James
I have an ancestor who served at Trafalgar (HMS Thunderer if I remember correctly) and my grandfather's brother was killed on the Somme.
Sadly I do not have my ancestor's Trafalgar medal - not even sure if one exists or was issued as he probably wouldn't have been able to read or write, in order to claim it anyway. (He was still alive in 1861 - so he could have claimed it, but if he did, it is long gone).
The important thing to remember is your ancestor WAS THERE, and medal or no medal, this historical fact can never be changed. It is this historical knowledge and family heritage that is important to pass on to your kids and descendants - the silver trinket is not that important really, compared to the documentary records that will exist in our libraries and archives for as long as Britain remains a nation, connecting your ancestor with Isandlwana!

But they come from the midlands.. could someone search the roll for me and find out? As ive lost my disc scratch

Best regards to you all

Hi James

You are correct, there was a Millership who served in the Zulu War.

He was Private William Millership, 80th Regiment
His regimental service number was 851. Medal with Clasp ‘1879’

Hope this helps

Many thanks for your reply Graves!

I see the 80th regiment only had the one Battalion engaged in the Zulu war. Hmm. Id love to be able to connect this man to my family tree, as Millership is not a common name. The south Staffordshire regiment is also the local regiment for where my family originates from. By my calculations I believe he would be 42, as theres only one suitable candidate on my tree... Would this be too old for a soldier back in the day?

Many thanks for any replies

90th!! That is superb information!! How can I thank you for that?!

Thats amazing!!

I shall tell my father this news this evening and hopefully he comes up with something.

I do hope he is related. This morning, I was told of ANOTHER relative in the zulu war.

But this guy is a bit more vague.

Nobody knows much about him other than his name is George Slade (regiment unknown)

He come back from the war wounded, a stabbing wound in his leg (apparantly) but he was reported to have gone a bit mad in his later years, apparently hanging out of a window shouting firing orders, pretending he was killing Zulu's. Not sure how true this is, but didnt something similar happen to an RD veteran?

James, are you still preposessed with buying Henry Slade's medal, or are you now more cool about it? (Someone is undoubtedly taking great care of it). Remember,

"The important thing to remember is your ancestor WAS THERE, and medal or no medal, this historical fact can never be changed. It is this historical knowledge and family heritage that is important to pass on to your kids and descendants - the silver trinket is not that important really, compared to the documentary records that will exist in our libraries and archives for as long as Britain remains a nation, connecting your ancestor with Isandlwana!"

Best Regards

Hi James

you could try advertising in Medal News - both online and in their magazine. Another good place to ask is the OMRS (the Order and Medal Research Society) - I think these two publications would cover a large percentage of medal collectors.

I have read this thread with interest and as a medal collector - I am pretty certain that the majority of collectors would happily sell a medal in their collection back to the family. I have done so twice and it is a very satisfying feeling. We are after all only guardians of the medals and the memories of their owners .

Good Luck I too shall keep my eyes open.

Sergio

Hi there Sergio, thanks for your reply. I did put a small bit in the OMRS magazine some time ago, but nothing came of it, perhaps like you say its time to try it again. Id love to see it some day! I am almost giving up hope Sad

Hello everyone! Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've got some pictures I would like you all to see.

I have had the medal checked out. I have been told, its a casting of the ORIGINAL!!!!!! Which was fantastic news!

The naming on the rim was part of the casting, what I mean is that it was not engraved or stamped on afterwards, it was off the original medal!

Here is one of me and my Grandfather, with an mk1 conversion 1873 Martini Henry.

And here is a picture of Henry Slades brother.... I imagine they would look very much alike! You can now even sort of put a face on Henry in a way :)

I hope you like the pictures.

James thanks for the photos, that's what it's all about, I remember well when you first joined the forum. Who thought this story would end in the way it did. Who's know the original medal may come to light one day, but having a cast from the original is just as good. Salute

Your Grandfather looks at home with his MH.
