Hi Megan, When I started posting on this site, I didn't know how to start a new topic and posted most different Homelands awards under other topics that already exist. I've tried to get my pictures that I posted on Bophuthatswana Police awards, but couldn't find them. I have the Bop Medal for Combating Terrorism with a bar. If you want pictures, please let me know and anything else you would like. Have a great evening. Regards Archie
