From the next Kaplan sale.

QSA (1) Defence of Kimberley (---- Balmer Kimberley Town Guard)
Kaplan says 'please note rank and initials have been erased from medal'

I do not have a man of this name of my DoK roll.

Pair
CGHGSM (1) Bechuanaland (Sgt T.J. White Kimberley Regt)
QSA (1) Defence of Kimberly (Lieut T.J. White Kimberley Town Guard)

My DoK roll has Lt J T White CPD2. There is a Lt F White, KTG. Not sure who this man is.
