WW2 South African Named Medal Grouping

[SouthAfricanTroopie]

Hello everyone! This is my first actual post here, so I wanted to choose something special in my opinion.

Here i have a medal grouping to a "Z. Mosala" with the number "N. 26507". What's interesting about this grouping is that it was awarded to a Lesotho man (As the surname suggests.). Most of the WW2 medals awarded to South Africans i've seen had been named to English or Afrikaaner men, which makes this grouping special imo. I have yet to research the recipient, although i am searching on ways to do so. The Medals are "The 1939 - 1945 Star", "The Africa Star", "The Defense Medal", "War Medal 1939 - 1945" and "The Africa Service Medal". The War Medal is sadly not named, but the rest are.







Cheers
Troopie

Not an area I know anything about, but the background sounds real interesting and should be researched further!

Interesting. There's enough information there to research Nosala. South Africa to their credit issued their WW2 medals named, something that didn't happen with New Zealand medals.
