QSAMIKE Posted January 5, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSAMIKE Posted January 6, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
