WW2 The Southern Rhodesia Medal for War Service 1939-1945
Unnamed as Issued
The Southern Rhodesia Medal for War Service 1939-1945 was a British Commonwealth campaign medal presented for service during World War II. The medal was instituted in 1946 and was awarded to members of the Rhodesian military, who served in Southern Rhodesia only during the time of their enlistment, and as such, were not eligible for any other medal - therefore this replaces the War Medal 1939-1945 in these instances.
As a consequence of this only approximately 1700 medals were awarded, making it one of the rarest World War II medal
