M44                           Died in Service.

East and West Africa Medal 1892 named to J. Harris A.B. HMS Racoon with Mwele 1895. John Harris was a native of Feock Cornwall and was born on 15th April 1868, he joined the navy on 21st July 1881, aged 13 years as a boy 2nd class, his occupation was 'fisherman' (no time in those days for hanging around on street corners drinking alcopops!') The Mwele expedition was conducted from August 1895 - April 1896 under Admiral Rawson consisting of  seamen equipped with 2 maxims a 7 pounder gun and a rocket tube. The seamen came from the HM ships St. George, Phoebe, Racoon, Barossa Thrush, Widgeon and Blonde. Mwele was the stronghold of Mbaruk a prosperous coastal Arab.

In the entire history of British campaign medals this is the only example of a campaign being inscribed on the rim instead of a bar. Both the Witu 1890 and the '93 campaigns which were of shorter duration were commemorated with a bar. Considering that at least 300 naval personnel took part it seems odd that only 106 were nominated in the London Gazette. The medal entitlement to H.M.Ships was: Barrosa - 5, Phoebe - 4, Racoon - 70, St George - 22, Thrush - 4, Widgeon - 1.
