Naude of the Wodehouse Yeomanry - by: Rory

This medal has, most decidedly, seen better days but it's an honest medal named to a man who, as a Dutch-speaking farmer in the Eastern Cape, would have been under pressure to join the Cape Rebels and fight with the Boers.

Jan Naude was a Farmer who farmed at Montagu Hill in Wodehouse and who passed away from gallstones and other illnesses, on 14 November 1936 at the age of 69.
