James,

That's a nice collection of ABOs.

Have you found their paperwork to go with them?

Kind regards
David

Hello James,
In the case of Van Der Schyff, does Vorm B actually use the word starvation?
Regards Frank

David: "Yes" I have the paperwork for each of the above.

Frank: To be honest I have no idea what is states on his Vorm B, as I can't read the language, to me its all double dutch . I had the other three translated into English by Dave George, but at the time I didn't have JACOBES CHRISTOFFEL VAN der SCHYFF.

I bought VAN der SCHYFF's medal off a chap called Geoff Cosum, and got the above information from him when I acquired the medal. His paperwork I got from Audrey at Rhino Research.

Wombat,
James
