17th October 2001	25B/1284 Pte Charles Mason B Coy 2/24th By Martin Everett I understand that the campaign medal for Pte Mason who was at Rorke's Drift on 22/23 January 1879 is being put up for auction. Has anyone seen details? Suggested price is �11,000.

18th October 2001	Stephen McDonald Martin, you may want to this [email protected] they sell medals. They're currently selling the Zulu War medal awarded to Lt. A.F.Henderson (survivor of Isandlwana). As as the South Africa Medal 1877-79 awarded to Pte Wm Hough who was Col. Glynn's cook and was killed at Isandlwana. This company may be able to help you out. FYI
