Hi Andrew,

very nice! Also not heard of them before and not in Owen's.

Tylden's has them as being a Cape Coloured unit.

regards, Iain

Thanks Iain, there were scores of these relatively small and not well known units in the Boer War. We may never know all of them as many didn't receive QSA's. All part of the fun, I suppose. Have a great day. Andrew
