The South African Republic and Orange Free State War Medal , commonly referred to as the Anglo Boere Oorlog Medal , was a South Africa n military campaign medal. It was authorised on 21 December 1920, as a retrospective award for Boer veterans of the Anglo Boer War 1899 1902 . The medal was awarded, on application, to veterans who had served in the Boer forces between 11 October 1899 and 31 May 1902. As neither of the Boer republics the Orange Free State and the South African Republic had had official honours systems of their own, this medal was created to give the Boer veterans parity with their fellow South Africans who had fought on the British side in the war. The medal is silver. Both sides depict an ornamental frame, encircled by the words Anglo Boere Oorlog 1899 1902 . One side has the arms of the SAR in the centre of the frame, and the other side has the OFS arms. This enabled each recipient to wear the medal so as to display the arms of the state for which he had fought. The ribbon, as worn by an SAR veteran, is green, red, white, blue, and yellow. An OFS veteran would have reversed the ribbon so that the yellow stripe was on the left. References Alexander, E. G. M., Barron G. K. B. and Bateman, A. J. 1986 .
