ABO. City Coins August 2016.

Anthonie Malan passed away in September 1930. When his widow applied for his ABO medal in 1953 there was little that she could enter on Vorm “B”, except that he had served in the Swaziland Commando under Gen. Chris Botha. However, the form was co-signed by a Burgher who vouched for Malan’s service, and the medal was issued to Mrs. Malan.

Sold with an original 2-page document, dated 8 September 1930, with details of the funeral procession of Burger Malan, the box of issue with accompanying letter and registered envelope addressed to Mrs. Malan and a copy of Vorm B.
