    WWI Medals To South African Wonded & KIA Brothers.


    Recommended Posts

    My first South African WWI medals arrived a couple of days ago, "just" a VM & a BWM - a broken pair & a broken trio but I like them.

    Sgt LB Tedder was a member much wounded member of 2 SAI (commissioned in December 1918), 2/Lt OS Tedder, his brother, was a member of 8 Lincolnshires & was KIA 27/4/17.

    He served in the Rebellion and South West Africa beforehand, so there should be a card for SWA in the archives as well.

    Many English speaking South Africans transfered to the british Army after SWA and were commisioned, maybe that was the case with his brother.

    And I think there's some kind of family link with Lincs - a quick search on the web threw up a Tedder school in that county, may be something, may be nothing............
