(x) Brandfort Town Guard

Approximately 23 Medals were awarded to the unit in November 1905. An accompanying copied roll extract for the Brandfort Town Guard states:

'Consisting of a mounted and a dismounted section, the mounted men were out almost daily escorting wood-outing parties with wagons some 6 miles out of Town with the Mounted Infantry of the Garrison. They also performed cattle guard duty and frequently Cossack posts. The mounted men were on various occasions engaged with the enemy who had looted cattle and wagons, whilst the whole Guard, both mounted and dismounted were often called out and stood to arms - patrolling the whole night through when the Town was threatened.'

Queen's South Africa 1899-1902, no clasp (Pte. H. Sohr. Brandfort T.G.), edge nicks and minor contact marks, nearly very fine and rare
