Like I understand it is South Africa naming but does someone can explain whats the unit 8th M.R. stands for. Also is it possible to research these medals?

One such person who is a member of this forum (aud) is Audrey Portman at rhino.research@icon.co.za. Regards Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur R Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi 8th Mounted Rifles were the Midlandse Ruiters, formed in Middelburg (Cape Province) in 1913. Disbanded in 1929, together with most of the other Active Citizen Force mounted rifle units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
