Mike,

Your list of missing TGs was very useful. Thank you for those. I have added pages for several of the units for which medals were awarded:

Albany
Alexandria
Brandfort
Carnarvon
Kenhardt
Piquetberg Road

I have also added:

Beaufort West TG
Prince Albert Road TG

I am having problems identifying three of the TGs:

Middelton
Veldrif
Zoutleif

Port Nolloth is apparently covered under the Namaqualand TG.

I have also added pages for the following TGs as there are papers for some of the men in the National Archives even though no medals were named to these units.

Durbanville
Cape Town
Concordia
East London
Kalk Bay – Muizerberg
Katberg
Mowbray
Newlands
Observatory
Rondebosch
Sea Point
Seymour
Stellenbosch
Woodstock
Wynberg

To do:
Green River TG

These changes bring the number of TG pages on the site to 126.

With thanks
David

Very useful list - thank you.
Interested to see the Nkandhla TG with 17. I'm assuming this is the same place as the current well publicised expense needed to "secure" this town. Or, more accurately, a residence some 40k nearby.

Good Morning Dave.....

Those are from a list that I rec'd a long time ago..... I am glad that everything is up to date now.....
