Current Status of pre-1994 honours[edit]

Does anyone know whether the South African government and SANDF accept the pre-1994 honours and allow them to be inscribed on unit colours? Bluenose Gunner (talk) 15:52, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Current Honours are carried on the Unit Colours. This in spite of the name changs of units. It's a HIGHLY contentious issue. BoonDock (talk) 17:57, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this information.

Is there a reference available (such as a newspaper article) that makes both points (current use and controversy) that we could cite in an addition to this article? Bluenose Gunner (talk) 13:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If I find something, I'll let you know.. BoonDock (talk) 02:09, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so very much Bluenose Gunner (talk) 11:05, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
