Description

This Kenya Medal with Bar is a significant piece of post-World War II military history, awarded to British and Commonwealth forces who served during the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya between 1952 and 1960.

The medal, with its distinctive bar, recognizes the efforts of those who played a role in this complex and turbulent period, during which British forces were deployed to quell the Mau Mau rebellion against colonial rule.

The Kenya Medal remains a rare and poignant reminder of the conflicts of the mid-20th century and the decolonization movements that reshaped Africa.

Ideal for collectors of military medals or those interested in colonial history, this medal is a powerful symbol of a key chapter in both Kenyan and British history.
