This person and associated award of the Military Medal is notable, because of South Africa's apartheid past.  '''Barry Gazi''' was one of five or six black South Africans decorated for bravery during WWII. 500 Military Medals were awarded to South Africans, but of those- only a very small number were awarded to African/Black members of South African forces - who were compelled to serve un-armed as drivers, cooks and stretcher-bearers. The South African government also distinctly neglected retaining adequate records regarding these acts of bravery by native South Africans - so any furthering of that record is essential. Also note that Gazi was the first black South African to have been awarded the MM.  Person considered notable under this clause of |MilHist Notability
