Hi John

Pleased you found it of interest.

Between the wars the spelling of the motto on the GS badge that is not in English changed from Dutch to Afrikaans.

I think I have this the right way round, but somebody will correct me if not. I think the Dutch is "Eendracht Maakt Macht" and the Afrikaans is "Eendrag Maak Mag."

Here is a WW1 South African GS cap badge.
