Description
The Natal Medal Roll 1906 is a detailed record of the operations against the Zulus in 1906. Issued by the Natal Government, this medal was awarded to those who took part in these events. The medal itself features an unusual design, with Edward VII's head facing to the right and the figures of Natalia and Britannia on the reverse. Approximately 10,000 medals were issued, although about 20,000 were produced without a clasp. The rebellion began in February 1906, following the murder of two policemen by Zulu chiefs who refused to pay hut tax. The medal was awarded to those who served for twenty days or more during operations, with those serving fifty days or more receiving the medal with a clasp. This medal is an interesting piece of military history, providing insight into the events and people involved in the rebellion.
