Sold with an original letter from The Highland Society of London, dated 25th October, 1902, which states: 'We are forwarding herewith for your acceptance a bronze medal from the Highland Society of London which may be of interest to you. 'It is one of those originally intended for presentation to the Black Watch on the return of that regiment from Egypt in Sir Ralph Abercromby's time, but the Government intervened and would not allow the Society to carry out its intention. '
