I suppose, given my new geographical location, that acquiring medals to local Eastern Cape- based Town Guards would be on the cards. I was surprised however,with the alacrity with which they tracked me down and forced their way into my possession:
Here are a few that I have taken photos of - the rest await my attention after the Easter Weekend.
The medals are to:
6 (low number) Pte. E. Billson of the Port Elizabeth Town Guard (Ewan Billson) and
138 Pte. H.L. Anderson of the Uitenhage D.M.T. (Henry Lukey Anderson - District Mounted Troop)
Others not yet photographed are:
19 Pte. D.P. Zietsman of the Humansdorp Town Guard and
N/N. Pte. E.H.K. Mundell of the Cradock Town Guard. (Ernest Henry Kew Mundell)
From what I've surmised the Humansdorp T.G. medals are hard to find.
Regards
Rory
