Michael Johnson Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The South African medals are very researchable. Here is a link giving a list of South African researchers: http://www.casus-belli.co.uk/index.asp?PageId=133 I have had some contact with Gordon Bickley, whose rates are reasonable.

Noor Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks Michael! I will try to research the group of three first. If it's work out fine, maybe the medal as well. Thank you to the Tony F and London Gazette, I know now that the Air Efficiency Award was awarded to E.E. McCallion (63150) on 2nd February 1955.

Michael Johnson Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Both the Cape Corps ("C" prefix) and the Indian and Malay Corps ("M" prefix) were primarily used for transport and pioneer duty, but some were used in defence artillery and guard duty.

Noor Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Next random find... Special Constabulary Long Service Medal, George V issue. Awarded to Mr. Alfred Ledger As far I understand there is 4 different type of obverses for that award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The 1901 census shows 25 Alfred Ledgers. I don't think the Special Constabulary Medal appeared in the London Gazette, so that option isn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noor Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Because SA group medal ribbons was ruined anyway (clued before I got the set), I was thinking to try to do some work myself and see, what would be the result ... Here is the group now. Because I was short of ribbon, reverse do not look so good but I think I should cover it with the velt again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
