Boer War, 1899–1902

Members of the New Zealand Mounted Rifle contingents received Queen Victoria's Medal for South Africa and qualified for a total of 13 out of the 26 clasps awarded, but no one man qualified for more than about five clasps. A large proportion also qualified for King Edward VII's Medal for South Africa, which could only be awarded to holders of the Queen's Medal and always bore two clasps, “South Africa 1901” and “South Africa 1902”.
