A very nice DoK / Paard QSA to Tpr C W Stevens, KLH. Sold just now at Spink for a hammer price of £480.

Who is DNW? I am trying to trace the Gorle DSO group provenance and provenance of the Gorle VC provenance for both groups prior to 2012 and 1993 respectively.

Try here.

Kimberley Star



He served for exactly 12 years to the day and was discharged on 16th February 1904 in Pretoria, South Africa aged 29. Upon discharge he clearly returned to Wales almost immediately and purchased a pub called "The Oddfellows Inn" at Newport from the previous landlord Mr Edwin G. Dutfield. The purchase price of the pub (24th August 1904) including the goodwill of the business and the contents inventory was £350 ! with a further sum of £18/18s/9d for the wet & dry goods !

£1,750

Henry Clements is on the roll for QSA (3) DoK Tr OFS.

This is the first time I have seen this DoK group.

From the next Kaplan sale:

D522B, Queens South Africa Medal Bar Defence of Kimberly Pte G.B. Green Kimberly Town Guard VF+, 4000

D523 Kimberly Star engraved Robt G Creer. G. Coy. Sec. 2 VF, 5000

There is a Pte G B Creen, G Co KTG, on the roll. Presumably this is the pair to that man? If so, it would be a great shame to separate them in this way. I have queried with Michael.
