Three: Constable Makore, Rhodesian Forces

Rhodesia, General Service Medal (12689 Const. Makore); Police L.S. & G.C., with Second Award Bar (12689 Const. Makore); Service Medal of the Order of St John, unnamed, mounted as worn, good very fine (3)

It is not known when Constable Makore enlisted in the BSAP but his allocated number indicates it was late 1950. His RhGSM was an early issue and announced in Supplement to BSAP Force Orders, 2nd Schedule, 24 December 1969, Page 5. This was followed by his Police Long Service Medal in The Rhodesia Government Gazette, 15 January 1971, Vol XLIX, No 3, Page 53 and a Second Award Bar for further service in The Rhodesia Government Gazette, 5 December 1975, Vol LIII, No 56, Page 1402.

Although there is not trace of his being awarded a Service Medal of the Order of St. John this is not unusual. Later issues are not named and not gazetted; with thanks to Paul Brewster for the research and biography of the recipient.
