Doctor Morgan Julian Williams served with the Victoria Rifles in Matabeleland and Mashonaland in 1896, and with the Garrison Volunteers, Victoria, during the operations in Mashonaland in 1897. This is one of several examples known where the 1897 medal was issued instead of the 1896 medal with 1897 clasp, to which he should have been entitled.
