Product details
The Battle of Blood River (16 December 1838) was fought on the bank of the Ncome River, in what is today KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa between 464 Voortrekkers (Pioneers), led by Andries Pretorius, and an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 Zulu under Chief Dingane. A monument was erected on the site of the battle in 1947, consisting of an ox wagon executed in granite. In 1971 a laager of 64 ox wagons cast in bronze was erected. These medals were issued to coincide with the unveiling.
