I just found this on Ladysmith's history website.
1859 – July: Thomas Munro Carbutt was a steward at the Ladysmith races, the same year elected lieutenant of the Natal frontier Guard, disbanded in 1876.

So the Natal Frontier Guard was disbanded in 1876.

I also found reference in "George Eliot and the British Empire" By Nancy Henry of them preparing to do battle with the Basutos in July 1865.

Not much out there on them, but keep searching. Have a great day. Regards Andrew
