New Publication – THE UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA COMMEMORATION MEDAL

THE UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA COMMEMORATION MEDAL
Orders & Medals Research Society – 150 pages 14 colour illustrations 29 b/w and several tables
This is a book for anyone with an interest in medals related to South Africa and/or the Anglo Boer War which ended on the 31 May 1902 with the Treaty of Vereeniging. Within that treaty was a commitment to self-rule for the former Boer republics. Those who had just recently been on opposite sides of a
long and bitter conflict met and hammered out a constitution that resulted in the Union of South Africa – the borders of the present Republic of South Africa.
A medal was given to 580 of those who had rendered services in achieving this and this book is the record of who they were, the challenges they faced and the compromises made.
