Good Morning Everyone......

I would like to add that I have also read these posts with great interest....

I do have a couple of RofM in my collection.... Rhodesian Horse, Rhodesia Regiment and British South African Police.

But even though they did not get the RofM bar my best connection to the relief is to a couple of Canadians who were members of "C" Battery R.C.F.A. see this thread.....

As noted both casualties with Canadian Scouts....
