Mike Thanks for the input!?? This is a new area for me! Is it possible to tell what kind of profession Mr Jensen had? …and…what kind of value for the medal? thanks again! kind regards /Peter
QSAMIKE Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Hi Peter...... To find out his occupation you would have to find a professional researcher in South Africa to dig out his original documents if they still exist not many do..... As for value I am sorry I do not offer values as this sometimes causes arguments..... Mike

(Sorry for bad english). Ok…I bought it for about 75-80 GBP and I hope I didn’t pay to much! Once again, thanks! /Peter
QSAMIKE Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Peter...... He was definitely in combat and not supply as the unit was in a large number of actions..... You did very well with the purchase about 50% of market value..... Mike
PeterE1975 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 Great!?? …Now…I think I’ll go for a Crimean Medal! /Peter
