Having looked at various Frontiersmen badges, a thing that puzzles me is, what happened to the "Imperial Frontiersmen". I have two examples of this cap badge, collars, s/titles and buttons. Was this the same organisation of big game hunters and adventurers that paid for their passage to France and were the first British troops in action or a different outfit altogether.
There is a book of which the title escapes me, written by a General, showing a squadron of Belgian cavalry passing an armed "Boy Scout", so the caption reads. The Frontiersmen always were a shadowy organisation so I guess a guy wearing a Lemon squeezer hat was lucky he was not titled as a "KIWI".

Seriously has anyone any explanation on the Imperial Frontiersmen.
