Mervyn Mitton Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 It is now 29 years since the end of the Rhodesian U.D.I. period of Independence. During the short period they existed a whole network of Militaryranks and Awards were created. I am showing here the miniatures of the main awards - not easy to have this reference material I hope itwill of help to the collectors. The above Breast Badge was the highest award and real emeralds were used. For good ref. material on the periodI recommend the books by Colonel Dudley Wall.
leigh kitchen Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 There was an article on Rhodesian awards recently in "Medal News", giving numbers issued etc, interesting little article.I have only about 3 GSM's & a Prison Service medal od some kind.
Mervyn Mitton Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 In years to come this will be useful ident. material. Although these are miniatures, they are the same as those issued.
