'In his introduction to the original Medal Roll for the Zulu Rebellion, published in 1976, Dr. F.K. Mitchell touched upon the modern trend by the collector of wanting to know more about the man behind the medal and the history of the campaign. He was complimentary in his comments on the efforts made by Donald R. Forsyth in this respect. The author, as Dr. Mitchell pointed out was generous in sharing his knowledge with others.

His most important contribution to military history and medal collecting was his remarkable series of South African campaign and gallantry medal rolls - about fifteen published works in all - which have deservedly earned him both local and overseas acclaim, and might be considered to be one of his memorials. These medal rolls, which are models of meticulous and painstaking research, have proved to be of inestimable value to both medal collectors and military historians.

Modern technology has enabled us at Roberts Medal Publications to improve, some fifteen years on, the presentation of the medal rolls, and to add considerably to the section on the History of the Campaign. A completely new section giving biographical details of the leading participants will add greatly to the knowledge of medal collectors world-wide.' - from the Preface
