World War One Victory Medal.South African Military Nurse

An original First World War Victory Medal awarded to an I Van Military Nurse.This is the South African pattern of badge with the same figure of winged victory to the face, designed by William McMillan,as the UK.The reverse however bears the words The Great War For Civilisation both in English and in Dutch.Only 75,000 of these were awarded and the South African Military Nursing Service had only a limited personnel in the UK,France and Africa.I have been unable to yet find a service record for this nurse as to where she may have served but it may be worthy of further research.Condition is good with original plated finish.Replacement ribbon.
