| Hello everyone, Don't know if there are any other Belgian members on this forum, if not: here's your first  Medal-collector with a definitive love for Victorian campaign medals. Buying a couple of old Osprey-books, had my interest caught in South-Africa 1879. Looking to buy a single campaign medal with 1879 clasp in the near future but my medal-collecton only acts as a catalysator to learn more about the campaigns. So signed in here to  Already been browsing for a while on the forum and pretty sure I'm at the right place  Kind regards l4h |

| Welcome to the forum. I do believe your the first from Belgian, we have a Frenchman. So that's fairly close. There are many medal collectors on the forum, so your not alone.  |

| Thank you for the welcomes gents! @90th: can't decide if you're the right person or completely the wrong one to ask: if I had to choose beteen a 1879 for the 90th or one for the 91st which one should I go for and why? cheers l4h |

| Interesting question , I dont have access to my books as I'm away for a couple of days , if it's the 1879 clasp only I'd possibly still go for the 90th regt as they were at Kambula ( which was the turning point of the war ) and Ulundi , whereas from memory the 91st was at Gingindlovhu and some went on to Eshowe , Happy to be corrected if I've short changed the 91st ! , but I dont think I have  . I have a couple to the 90th with the 77-78-79 Clasp , I dont have one from the 91st . Cheers 90th. |
