Issued to Samuel Curtis Masters for his service in South Africa during the Boer War. Masters was born near Bungendore, New South Wales, in 1880. He was a trooper in the Bungendore Troop of the 1st Australian Horse and enlisted to go with the unit to South Africa, leaving Australia on 14 November 1899. Masters was present at the battle of Paardeberg in February 1900, one of the major turning points of the first stage of the war. On 16 November 1900 he was invalided back to Australia, presumably because of illness. In early 1901 Masters chose to once again enlist for service in South Africa, this time joining the 2nd New South Wales Mounted Rifles. In October he was promoted to the rank of corporal. While still in South Africa he transfered to the 3rd New South Wales Imperial Bushmen, remaining with them until the end of the war and rising to the rank of lance-sergeant. After the war he returned to Bungendore to work as a horse groom. He died in 1952 in Stockinbingal, New South Wales.
