That really is a super medal Rory, commissioned from Sergeant too, I wonder if he knew Sergeant Von Blerk, I rather think he would have done, they would have at least rode across the same wretched veldt!

Hi Frank

Now that is an interesting combination of initials and surname - the normal prefix in SA is "Van" as opposed to the German "Von"

A very nice medal and I've no doubt that they would have messed together as Sergeants!

Regards

Rory

Hello Rory,
Yes, I honestly think that they would have known each other, the MI detachment was certainly not huge.
Regards again Frank
