Laidlaw comments ...
”The medal commemorates 120 years of the ocean mail service between the Great Britain and South Africa. The service was inaugurated by the R.M.S. Dane when she sailed from Southampton on 15th September 1857. The final sailing of the large passenger mail ships was in 1977. The name of the company was changed from Union Line to Union-Castle Line in 1900, during the Boer War, when it merged with the Castle Mail Packets Company”
