Here you go, Steven : units, CFO numbers and dates. If you'd prefer to go directly to the CFOs, without hunting through gazettes, there is/was a complete set in the W Cape Archives (among the Defence Department records).

Correct. They were renamed 'Cape Colonial Forces Orders' (CCFOs) in 1901.
Steven : to return to your earlier post listing the cadet corps. The other day, I found a note that the Leicester Cadet Corps was raised at St Saviour's Grammar School in Claremont (Cape Peninsula). The school was later absorbed into the Diocesan College ('Bishops').

Do any of these spark any recognition ? Had a batch of badges all thought to be Cadet related but these are the ones I cannot identify
1) PHSCC Grahamstown 2) UMBCCC 3) Badge with large star surmounted by a cross. Could be a Christian church group 4) Brass badge sporting a shield with an orange tree ( OFS ?) and a train engine. Could be a municipal traffic badge 5) Badge made by Metalart. Probably not cadets but I guess local. 6) CTCCC Thanks Mike |

3 might have something to do with the Zion Christian Church - their emblem is a 5-pointed star.
4 is the municipal arms of Kroonstad, post-1966. 5 is the municipal arms of East London, pre-1959.
