Belgium WW2 African War Medal 1940 1945 with Clasp Madagascar by Dupagne

Belgium: WW2 Commemorative Medal for the 
Campaign in Africa (African War Medal), 1940-
1945. 
With "Madagascar" Clasp. 
Signed by the sculptor Arthur Dupagne.
The medal was established in 1947 and was 
awarded to the personnel of the Belgian Armed 
Forces who served in Africa for at least 1 year, 
between 1940 - 1945. 
The Belgian forces besides defending the Belgian 
Colonies of Congo or Ruanda/Urundi served also 
in Madagascar, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, 
Sudan and Palestine. 
The Madagascar clasp was awarded to the 10th 
Casualty Clearing Station (10 CCS) - a medical 
unit from the Belgian Congo who served along-
side the British forces during the invasion of 
the French Vichy Government controlled island
of Madagascar (5 May 1942 – 6 Nov. 1942). 
Note that the strength of the 10 CCS was just 
370 personnel so this is a very scarce bar.
