What this roll records
London Gazette, 11 December 1945, Supplement 37386, page 6072: “No. SR/598895 Sergeant (acting) Charles Campbell Bassett RYAN, South African Forces.” It confirms his forenames in full against his number, gives that number in its Southern Rhodesian form as SR/598895, and lists him under South African Forces. THE AWARD IS NOT STATED HERE: the heading above the entry could not be read, and while the entry’s form is the one the Gazette uses for the British Empire Medal, which this card claims, that is likely rather than proven. Source: The London Gazette.
Patrol S (S1/S2) INFERRED from Rhodesian/South African service number (SR/RH prefix) - the LRDG Rhodesian & S.African squadron formed S Patrol. Specific S1/S2 not individually confirmed.
