Vintagemotif - he did get a medal, but not a star. He got a campaign medal for his service in South Africa. And as for the Rolls Royce - oh what a marvellous fantasy, he was not of that class.


Thanks again for another fun game and history lesson! I thought you would have fun with the Rolls Royce. :)

My Grandad was shipped to Bombay as a soldier in 1896, and was in India (apart from a short spell in Burma) until 1902.

The machine was manufactured in Scotland and given the Indian star decal, which was put on the machines that were shipped to Bombay for sale in India.

Beautiful machine - cool pictures, neat story. Great info about the Indian Star Decal - I learn something new every day here!
