Hi

Quite suprised to see 898 to the SAMCC ( South african Motor Cycle Corps) Thought tye unit was quite small

Cheers

Guys

The turn over of troops due to sickness in the GEA Campaign led to a fairly large input of reserves joining the unit from the Union. Still a great unit, they were NOT despatch riders but were actually a mounted fighting regiment (albeit on motorcycles). I am busy with a booklet on these chaps, should be interesting read when finished.

Along with Williams (Jhb) posting on this subject matter I am now a very "happy chap" the two posts confirms and adds to information I have in my draft booklet on the subject of NOK awards and documentation.

Thanks Mervyn

Have a number of these items but not the Purple ribbon issue, must keep the eyes peeled.

Been ages since I last visited your shop, hope you and Roy are fine.

This post makes interesting reading and fills in a few gaps in my research regards this organisation, thanks for the heads up at the recent JHB Military Fair.
