Natal 1906, 1 clasp, 1906 (Tpr: J. Auld, Umvoti Mtd. Rifles.), very fine

In February 1906, in response to the Zulu rebellion against a poll tax introduced by the Natal Government the previous year, elements of the Umvoti Mounted Rifles were mobilised for active service, and marched to Maphumulo, there to rendezvous with two other units of the Natal Militia, the Natal Mounted Rifles and Durban Light Infantry. This force came to be known officially as the Umvoti Field Force, and popularly as the Leuchars Field Force.
