WW2 South African British War Medal 1939–45
Women’s Auxiliary Army Services (South Africa)
Named: W548231 H. C. MOMSEN
A Second World War British War Medal 1939–45, awarded for service with the South African Women’s Auxiliary Army Services (WAAS).
The medal is officially South African–issued and named to W548231 H. C. MOMSEN, with the naming impressed in the correct South African style, distinguishing it from the unnamed British issues and adding clear individuality and collectability.
The Women’s Auxiliary Army Services played an important supporting role within the South African forces during the Second World War, undertaking a wide range of duties that released men for front-line service both at home and overseas.
A genuine and attractive example of a named South African WW2 War Medal, representing female wartime service and an increasingly sought-after area of Commonwealth medal collecting.
