In a previous blog, http://soufafrican.blogspot.com/2007/01/for-country-and-freedom.html, I have a picture of a medal. I ommited to give it a title.
It is the "Pro Patria" medal which was awarded to all those soldiers who did time on the border during the now infamous border war in the then South West Africa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Border_War
I have 3 of them (or rather my Mom has, very special to her she says), for three tours to the front. 1 x 18 months, and 2 x 3 months each.
