First Boer War and Second Boer War: despatches and awards
Gazette despatches and Victoria Cross citations for the First Boer War (1880-1881) and the Second Boer War (1899-1902) are listed below.
Despatches were frequently accompanied by regular lists of those awarded medals, or whose conduct was to be noted. Though the latter were sometimes recorded within the text of a despatch, by this time, it became common practice to provide a separate list of such names after the main despatch.
