British South Africa Company Medal 1890-97, reverse Mashonaland 1897 (Trumpr., Umtali Vols.); 1914-15 Star (Lieut); British War and Victory Medals (Capt.), together with an Occupation of Matabeleland Commemorative 1893-1933, bronze, unnamed, cleaned, first with minor edge bruising, very fine and better (5) £200-250

Joseph James Reynard served in the Rhodesia 1896 campaign as a Trooper in the Umtali Volunteer Corps and in the Mashonaland 1897 campaign as a Trumpeter in the Umtali Volunteers. The B.S.A. Co. Medal as issued to the recipient is original and correct but has been issued in error in place of the B.S.A. Co. Medal, reverse Rhodesia 1896, 1 clasp, Mashonaland 1897 to which he would have been entitled. It is also possible that he was also issued with a medal for the 1896 operations. During the Great War Reynard served with the British South African Police (Southern Rhodesia Column) from October 1915 to January 1917, and also with the East African Transport Corps. Sold with some copied research details.
