QSA (1) Defence of Mafeking; (A. GOWER. MAFEKING TOWN GD.).

Little is known about this man.

On offer at £2,500. That is quite a variety of prices for a Town Guard medal in the last week.

This QSA (1) `DoM' is to be auctioned by JB Military Antiques later this month.

I presume this is the medal sold by Spink in November 2022.

This medal is attributed to Ernest Mitchell Gates. I have asked Jamey how it is known this is the medal to Ernest Mitchell and not his brother Edwin Mitchell. Both received a single clasp medals named to E M Gates of the Mafeking TG.
