Subsequent British attempts to provide a modern transport and revenue infrastructure, at the expense of traditional local custom (or indeed just at the expense of locals) resulted in varying degrees of unrest, and for campaigns against such difficulties Queen Victoria approved this medal in 1899. The bar for Lubwa's refers to Fort Lubwa in Sudan, which in 1897 was taken over by a group of Sudanese troops who had defied orders to go on an expedition. They escaped and were defeated at Kabagambi, now in Uganda. The bar for Uganda 1897-98 meanwhile refers to participation in an expedition into the Teita area of Kenya to deal with local unrest there. This medal was awarded to Sepoy Kale Khan of the 1st (Baluch) Battalion of the Bombay Light Infantry, part of the Indian Contingent in Africa. Lester Watson purchased the medal from the London dealers Spink at some point before 1928. 45 reference exhibition-1967 adlib-exhibition-1967 6984c1c2-8fb8-37f2-bc1e-13468b4a0475 Imagery of War CM.1201-2009 1 accession number CM.1201-2009 141295 priref 141295 Watson Catalogue 94 ordering M-0084 previous object number LW.0084 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141295 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141295 Queen Victoria facing left holding sceptre obverse VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX design Britannia left with trident standing right before lion, gesturing to sky reverse EAST & CENTRAL AFRICA design reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009 reference agent-206432 adlib-agent-206432 e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afb Watson, Lester 2009 2009 2009 given on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009 1899 1899 1899 mint reference agent-149658 adlib-agent-149658 4cb81521-c6ef-3826-8224-de2a104139c5 London ruler reference agent-151398 adlib-agent-151398 bb2cd0a1-0a27-3787-a684-475d3b199972 Victoria (1837-1901) artist reference agent-174946 adlib-agent-174946 97851273-f820-36e3-970a-41d6d59650df Saulles, George W. de with the title of ruler reference agent-174945 adlib-agent-174945 53c52c53-979d-3cdf-9a0b-6b7b691fe2dd Victoria regina et imperatrix reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 London reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Diameter mm 36.3 Weight g 44.42 reference media-116141 adlib-media-116141 fce214a5-5221-3409-89b5-92871c317519 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 122 1742589708541 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 122 1742589708541 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 122 1742589708541 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 122 1742589708541 1 image 0 media image reference media-116142 adlib-media-116142 5d440fb4-39ab-3a63-b940-934a407d16d0 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 114 1742589700751 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 114 1742589700751 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 114 1742589700751 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0084_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 114 1742589700751 1 image 1 media image reference term-122815 adlib-term-122815 38f60e9d-fb89-3c97-b7fe-80b94cb27f88 East and Central Africa Medal denomination reference term-98222 adlib-term-98222 b5ccc43a-7491-344e-b6ca-5df39a11c50e medals series reference term-108659 adlib-term-108659 cc732dec-4543-389e-a737-cf22bb7d2ee2 Military subseries reference term-107681 adlib-term-107681 e80da827-45c6-3b71-a3ef-28794a05e4a8 Britain subsubseries reference term-122717 adlib-term-122717 140af9ad-d215-34d9-9d42-52ecb5d3fead British Army subsubsubseries history note Gift of L.
