Sorry David, I have not come across any other publications or even half decent printed works on the TG's and DMT's.

I dont have a copy of the South African edition of Creswicke so wont be able to help you there. I wonder if Brett has anything?

Regards

Is this book that you mention entitled "The Town Guards of Cape Town" or the likes?

I have this small almost pocket size booklet which is very informative and was purchased at the Castle in Cape Town.I think if you do not have a copy it would be a great help to you.

Adrian

Good Morning Adrian......

Are copies of that book still available? Where can a person find one?

Thanks

Mike

Good Afternoon Mike,

I am sure that there are copies still available. I am in Durban now so unable to pop down to the Castle. However, if you contact Natie Greef who is the Museum Curator I am sure he will oblige.

His contact details are: casteel@mweb.co.za
+27 21 7871153 direct number for Natie

Mike, if for some reason the email does not work let me know.

Regards

Adrian

Funny Natie's name comes up.. he has been doing a project for a number of years to produce a roll for TGs and DMTs. From what I know he has completed the roll of names.

Not sure when it is going to be published but finding out may save duplication of effort.

Hi David,

I came across this SAMHS article on Graaff-Reinet during the ABW which has a little on the TG.
samilitaryhistory.org/vol073vm.html
One of my great grandfather's served in this TG before later serving in the Cradock TG.

Cheers,

Hello Meurig,

Natie has been working on this project for a while. Last time I spoke to him he was desperatly looking for pictures of men to any of the Natal based TG's and Rifle Associations.

Wonder how he got on?
