Comment
Noonans: The R.G.S. East African Expedition Medal 1878-80 in bronze would have been presented to members of the expedition (largely to African porters and bearers) many of whose colleagues had died of disease or exhaustion during the journey. Very few were awarded or reached their recipients.
