QSA (2) Cape Colony, Orange Free State (737 Pte. G. Cloete. Uitenhage V.R.)

Uitenhage Town Guard - Company Sergeant Major Nicholl regiment number 14.
Just added to my early collection any advise / help appreciated

Myer,

His medal was issued off the roll to the Uitenhage Town Guard. Is it named to the Uitenhage VR?

The TG roll has 14 CSM J G Nicholls. His no clasp medal is verified on WO100/286p69.

He does not appear to have served in any other unit.

Nicholls is a popular surname in South Africa. There are many potential matches in the marriage and death records from South Africa but a trawl through the FamilySearch site may be fruitful.

Many thanks for your comment it's to Uitenhage T. G.
