Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps Medal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps Medal
In the Colonies and Boer Republics that became South Africa in 1910, several unofficial military decorations and medals were instituted and awarded during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps Medal is an unofficial private campaign medal that was instituted in 1899 by Lieutenant Colonel S.H. van Diggelen, the founder and Commanding Officer of the ''Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps'', for award to the officers and men of his unit.〔(The South African Military History Society - Military History Journal Vol 1 No 4, June 1969 - Medal To Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps 1894-1899, By D. R. Forsyth ) (Access date 26 April 2015)〕〔(South African Medal Website - Unofficial Military Awards ) (Access date 27 April 2015)〕 ==The Volunteer Corps==
In terms of Act 17, 1894, three Volunteer Corps units were established in the ''Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek'' in 1894, in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Krugersdorp.〔 The ''Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps'' was founded and largely financed by Mr. S.H. van Diggelen, who was commissioned by President Paul Kruger as its commander with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. The first meeting to form the Corps was held in Van Diggelen's office on 18 September 1894, with subsequent meetings on 19 September 1894 and 27 March 1895. The first meeting in 1894, as the date on the medal suggests, could be considered the day on which the ''Johannesburg Vrijwilliger Corps'' was established. The official date of disbandment appears to be 1 January 1899.〔
