A slight change in the surname, but I'm confident that Gerald Yorke Anstruther served in the Britstown Town Guard as a Quartermaster Sergeant before the M M R.
Also the surname Anstruther is connected to a very historic Scottish family. Not sure if this chap had any connection to them, but if he had, that would have certainly bumped up the price at auction. Also, if the family wanted to bring the QSA home, that would also have impacted on the hammer price.
