Rory,
Yes, that's all spot-on. If I come across any more mention about your man, I'll let you know.

The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

I have only read this now and had to rejoin this forum as a result of a major laptop crash . Kommandant Oosthuizen was my great grandfather and I inherited
his medals in the 70's after my grandmother who had made the initial application in the 20's passed in 1974 . I did extensive research until I very sadly
was forced to sell the medals in 2019. At the time of the sale I had a file from various sources describing the battles he was involved in , including his last
fatal battle and a photo of the memorial commemorating that battle . Please let me know if you ever received that file as I can still retrieve details from my old hard drive

Hi Derpenta

I received no paperwork with the medals and would be very grateful for whatever you are able to send, including, if you have, scans of any photos of him you possess.

I will PM you my e-mail address.

Regards

Rory
