Private F. Gee, a member of the Namaqualand Town Guard, was recommended for an award by Colonel Cooper to Lord Kitchener:
'Engine Driver F. Gee [and three others] all deserve great credit for their pluck in taking a train up the line from Anenous to Brakputs near Klipfontein on the night of 15th April in order to bring down the wounded men of the D.E.O.V.R. who were in a position from which they could not be removed during daylight on account of the enemy's fire' (Cooper papers refer).
Gee also served in the smaller Port Nooloth Town Guard.
