Approximately 80 medals awarded to the Cathcart Town Guard.

The medal roll for the Cathcart Town Guard can be viewed online (WO100), and the handwriting is rather unclear, with the recipient appearing on the roll as: ‘6 Corpl. Chavanns (?), G. S. H.’ - little wonder that the naming on the medal has been corrected!
