Arthur R Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Just found out that the SA Army website has colour photos (not very good quality) of past and present SA military medals, including those from the former homelands.http://www.army.mil.za/aboutus/uniform/for...edals/index.htmI've picked up an error though: the "President's Medal for Shooting" shown on the former SADF medal page was actually a Ciskei Defence Force medal.

Cheers - SAMedalsWell spotted. Now that I take a closer look at those two pics, I see that the LWM is not only silver when it should be bronze, but the wording is English before Afrikaans, when it should be the other way round. I'd guess that that particular photo has been doctored at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
