The only unit linked to Koffyfontein was the Koffyfontein Defence Force .

There are 116 names on the roll but the AG2 information would suggest 22 were issued.


Example of a medal named to the KDF.

I've just heard from Sharon Jaffe that I was the successful bidder for the Ravenscroft Koffiefontein DF QSA. Happy days!

Well done, Rory, that is a great acquisition.

Your post on him and his unit is eagerly anticipated.

Private Ravenscoft was another Captain Reid for me.
