Welsh Hospital button - Wales or South African Boer War?
Does anyone recognise this button?
It is brass, 24 mm. I doubt that any hospital in Wales was ever named "Welsh Hospital". An internet search yields a "Welsh Hospital" in South Africa during the Boer War: It is mentioned in this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring..._Springfontein This link has a brief history (South African Military History Society): http://samilitaryhistory.org/vol123sw.html And a link to Boer War hospitals in South Africa: https://www.angloboerwar.com/other-i...=1&limitstart= Its backmark is one of at least 7 anonymous designs. My code name is 'hammer key' and I think it is associated with Firmin. Last edited by btns; 28-10-19 at 09:10 AM. Reason: added more links |
