Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 1 clasp, Natal (Tpr: E. Button. Murray’s Horse) extremely fine and rare to unit £240-£280

Murray’s Horse was raised in Natal before the outbreak of hostilities, by the Hon. T. K. Murray. Prior to the arrival of British reinforcements, Murray’s Horse - some 150 men, patrolled wide areas of lower Natal and scouted the country in front of the advancing Boer commandos. It was disbanded in November 1899 following the arrival of British troops. Trooper Button is believed to have died during the war.
