The records I have of my great grandfather, Peter Helders say he was part of No. 3b (Licensed Victuallers) Is there by any chance a photo of this group?
Thank you.

Here we go ...

Thank you so much. Appreciate your quick response. I take it not everyone is in the photograph as there are way more names than people.
Is there any information on what action this group saw?

As far as I am aware, the Cape Town & Suburban Town Guard acted purely as a defence force, a bit like the Home Guard during WWII. As such, they did not see any action, and did not receive South African campaign medals.
