Brett Hendey Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Mervyn An outstanding record of an important man. I cannot remember when I last saw such a comprehensive collection of written records and relics of one soldier. Regards Brett PS As Paul R has already indicated, please delete this post as well.

Mervyn Mitton Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thankyou for your comments - I wouldn't dream of deleting any post that someone has taken the trouble to write. I think this will end-up having a total of over 70 threads - however, it will provide ref. on a period that has long passed. We now move on to his official passport. I said earlier that he probably was part of a planned visit to the Airforces of the Countries visited. This official Military passport must be a type of Diplomatic issue. ......................................http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-6209-0-07284200-1363614481.jpgclick.................

Mervyn Mitton Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 This is his ceremonial sword - probably issued when he became a Lieutenant in 1939. He may also of worn it as a WO1 - there is no distinction for NCO's swords in the SA Forces. Unlike the British patterns which have a pierced guard, the SA pattern is more of an Artillery 3 Bar. This is now quite a rare sword as the coat of arms is from the 1910 forming of South Africa. ..........................................http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-6209-0-15064100-1363617245.jpgclick....................
