Medals to the Farmer's Guard - by: Rory

I recently posted on a QSA to FJL Dillon, who having served with Nesbitt's Horse, went on to the South African Constabulary where, and this is the query part, he was detached to the Farmers Guard.

I always thought that the Farmers Guard were an entirely separate unit - not part of the S.A.C.

Has anyone any info on them? They seem to be shrouded in mystery.

Regards

Rory
