Dekoratie Voor Trouwe Dienst, D.T.D. Lieutenant and Adjutant F.D. Pienaar.

 

Officially impressed: “LIEUT EN ADJ F. D. PIENAAR”

 

Very rare, one of only approximately 591 awards of the ‘Decoration for Faithful Service’ to Boer Officers who distinguished themselves during the Boer War.

 

He was later an Assistant Field Cornet at Elandsfontein Rifle Club after 1913 and may have seen service in WW1.
