    I've seen a few S. African WWI medals on ebay.de this year. I've even seen the same one being sold more than once.

    Do you think that is strange or am I just being a little paranoid?

    No I didn't know anything about that. It would account the for the unusual number of medals I've seen for sale on the internet.

    I've always wanted at least a bilingual Victory medal so I'll have to keep away from rare units.

    I wonder if Chris will give me his ones as a pressie? jumping

    Hi,

    his name was Cloete, he was a sharpshooter with considerable skills on the boer side in the Boer war. He was badly wounded and captured by the Brits.

    in WW1 he commanded "Enslin's Horse" as part of Southern Force in the german south West Africa campaign.

    Best

    Chris
