South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1877-8-9 (Corpl. A. Dyasson. Northn. Bord: Horse.) virtually Mint state, rare to unit £500-£700

A. Dyasson (also recorded as Dyason) appears on the most recent published transcript of the medal roll as having served with the Jansenville Yeomanry, one of only 6 Officers and men of the unit to receive the medal, and the only man to receive it with the clasp 1877-8-9. He does not appear on the roll for the Northern Border Horse (15 medals awarded to this unit), although in common with a lot of the men who served with the smaller Colonial units it is likely that he served with both the Jansenville Yeomanry and the Northern Border Horse.
