Africa Service Medal

The Africa Service Medal is a South African campaign medal for service during World War II that was awarded to members of the Union Defence Forces, the South African Police and the South African Railways Police. The medal was originally intended for service in Africa, but it was later extended to cover service anywhere in the world.〔〔〔(South African Medal Website – Union Defence Forces (1939–52) ) (Accessed 3 May 2015)〕

The duration of the Second World War in Europe was from 3 September 1939 to 8 May 1945, while in the Pacific Theatre it continued until 2 September 1945. In addition to the British campaign medals awarded to combatants from all members of the British Commonwealth, several Commonwealth nations augmented the British awards by establishing their own service medals, all distinctive in design, purpose and criteria.〔(David T. Zabecki (ed) (1999). ''World War II in Europe – An Encyclopedia''. Taylor & Francis. pp. 1049–1050. ISBN 0-8240-7029-1. )〕
For South Africa, the Africa Service Medal was instituted on 23 December 1943 by King George VI in his capacity as South African head of state, and was awarded in addition to the British campaign stars and campaign medals that were awarded for the war.〔Alexander, E.G.M., Barron, G.K.B. and Bateman, A.J.
