Footnote: The British South Africa Company Medal was initially sanctioned by Queen Victoria in 1896. It was granted to military personnel in commemoration of the First and Second Matabele Wars. There are four versions of the British South Africa Company Medal. Queen Victoria sanctioned the Matabeleland 1893 Medal in 1896 and the Rhodesia 1896 and Mashonaland 1897 Medals in 1897. In 1926, King Edward VII approved the Mashonaland 1890 Medal, which was administered by the Southern Rhodesia government. Only the Queen Victoria versions feature a reverse inscription of the campaign served.

Pte. Bernard ODonnell appears on the rolls of the 2nd West Riding Regiment for operations in Matabeleland and Mashonaland in 1896.
