Hello Mike,
With regards to number 13 in your remarks/history, I wonder why your Mr Wallace had a "hard time" at the PRO, anyway the three clasps are shown in WO100/271, as you would expect, on page 120.
Kind regards Frank

Super job Mike,
Well displayed and a fitting memorial, thanks for sharing.

Paul

Good Morning Frank.....

Thankyou for the photos......

Jim Wallace is the author of the book "No Colours, No Drums", the history of the Canadians in the SAC..... He did most of his research in person in SA before the records were available in the net and was most likely working from the documents there.....

Mike

Good Morning Gentlemen.....

Thankyou very much for the kind comments..... As we are only temporary custodians of these pieces of history it is our responsibility to treat them with as much care and reverance as we can......

Mike

Hello Mike,
Yes, I realise that, but, the actual medal rolls were always at the then PRO in London, the internet was not needed to view or copy them, having spent many pre pc years down there myself, I still cannot understand why he could not find your man.
Kind regards Frank
