    Good Afternoon 

     

    Obtained this medal a couple weeks back. Came with WW2 medals to either his son or grandson. Thought it strange that the ribbon is incorrect but original but also sewn together so it was done purposefully. From what I can gather, he served in the Ladybrand Commando and is on the POW roll as well. Perhaps he was entitled to a wound ribbon too?

     

    Struggling to get hold of the Defense Archives in Pretoria to get his Form A and B at the moment, thus I've decided to obtain the documents from another source. Hopeful to see what information turns up from that.. 

     

    Enjoy the pictures.

    Received the documents from Dewald.

     

    Just going to put the Form A and B up. Hopefully one day I'll find his ABO as well. Seems after July 1900 he spent the rest of the war in Bermuda. 

     

    Thanks again.
