ww1 medals & insignia
Hello all,
Pardon my ignorance in these matters.
Any help would be most appreciated in trying to establish which medals were awarded to ww1 South Africans. I assume the Victory Medal, and what else if any?
The recipient would have been Private Erenst Ebenezer Waspe, 14367 4th Regiment SA Infantry. Born 1888, Bathhurst, Eastern Cape.
He left South Africa 20 April 1917 on H.M.S. Euripedies. Sadly six months later almost to the day he was killed in action on 21 October 1917. He is one of 5 South Africans buried at St. Julien Dressing Cemetery, Belgium.
Also any other information about the battle he may have been involved in. The insignia worn by the 4th etc. would be helpful.
Thanks, Tony.
