Boerenoorlog, penning geslagen ter ere van degenen die hun leven gaven voor koning en vaderland 1902

This bronze medal, created by Emil Fuchs in 1902, commemorates the lives lost in the Second Boer War. The obverse depicts a soldier in a military uniform, while the reverse features a winged figure, likely an angel, crowning a fallen soldier with a laurel wreath. The inscription on the reverse reads "In memory of the heroes who gave their lives for King and Country," signifying the sacrifice made by soldiers fighting for the British Crown. The medal is a poignant testament to the human cost of war and the enduring respect for those who died in service.
