Hi everyone,
I've got a number of relatives who fought in the war I think most of them would have been with the Ermelo Kommando's.
Whether they applied for a ABO medal I don't know.
Where do I need to go to see if they filled out Form B's ?
Thanks

Contact Dewald Nel who has, if memory serves, scanned and copied every Vorm B in the Archives!

He's on dewald@nelantiques.co.za

Thank you I'll get in touch with him

I suggest looking on the roll to see if their names are there. That will tell you if they got the medal. Then you will know if it is worth getting the Form B's. If you post the names here I am sure someone can look up the roll for you.

Their names were:
Willem Adolph Joubert POW #28055
Pieter Johannes Joubert POW #28058
Albertus Jacobus Joubert POW #28059
Gideon Johannes Jacobus Joubert POW #28060
Stephanus Johannes Scheepers POW #28437
Jacobus Matheus Scheepers POW #28438
Willem Hendrik Scheepers POW #28439

They were all captured or surrendered on the same day and same place.

Then there was Phillip Jacobus Nell, don't know much about him other than his DOB may have been 11/8/1882

If anyone can check the roll I'd appreciate it.
