WW2 SA medals.

I assume SA WW2 is difficult to research.
Picked up a group of medals, just seeing if anyone might have some info on this man.

Cheers!

Hi

I have faced a similar problem and was put onto a South African researcher who found the service file on a colleague's POW father and was able to give me info on another incomplete WW2 group (missing the war medal) that I still have. He was a POW also.

You've also nudged me as I have a WW1 SA pair and WW2 group to the same man that I would like to find out about.

So, long answer to your question but PM me and I can give you the details that I have for the researcher. The only caveat is that he seems to take a fair old age to complete the task but is a nice guy and it's not that expensive.

Yes, unfortunately none of the SA service records have been digitized, so you need a researcher to go to the archives for you.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Vix
I have sent you a PM with the contact email for the researcher I use.
Cheers,

Hi Vix,

The soldier's number indicates service with the South Africa Medical Corps.

Are you sure about that Paul.

I see the number as 188014 which is in the HQ OC Troops Pietermaritzburg group and not SAMC
