King Charles handed five medals to Samweli Mburia - who claims to be 117 years old - during a ceremony to honour Kenyan soldiers who fought for Britain in the Second World War
handed five honours to former corporal Samweli Mburia - who claims to be 117 years old - during a poignant ceremony held to honour soldiers who fought for Britain in the Second World War. Mr Mburia says he was born in 1906 and when he told the King of his age, Charles replied: “You’re amazing. You set us a great example. I think you must have been living on wild honey and locusts.”.
Specialist medal auctioneers Spink sourced the original medals – 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star, Burma Star, Defence Medal, War Medal – for Mr Mburia, who served in Egypt, Abyssinia and Burma with the Royal Engineers. The veteran, speaking through his daughter, said: “I am so happy and proud to be receiving my medals from the King.”
