Help Identifying A Boer War Unit..?

[Roy]

Greetings Gents,

I have started a similar thread in the Australian section (see this link: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...d=1#post369358 )

But wanted to open up this thread too, reasons to follow.

I have a interesting original period photograph which is quite important to some research I'm doing. It would be of great help if I could identify the unit.

I believe it is Boer War vintage and although I have thought it to be an Australian mounted unit, it has been suggested that it could also be South African. Please see some enlarged screen shots of the insignia. Perhaps these might ring a bell with someone more familiar with Australian insignia from this period.

Cheers,

Roy.

I think you should perhaps consider posting this again, but, not in the South African section!
