Picture courtesy of Noonan's

SAGS (1) 1879 (Troopr. X R. Lewis. Lydeng. Rifles.) first initial unofficially obliterated with a X, traces of brooch mounting to obverse, edge bruising

Noonan's say approximately 56 South Africa medals with clasp 1879 awarded to the Lydenburg Rifles.

During the First Boer War, Lydenburg was the scene of a siege, 6 January-30 March 1881, the British Garrison of some 100 men being commanded by Lieutenant Walter Long.
