Hi Henk,
The 3rd VB was raised specifically for the Boer war, the 5th (TF) were previously the 1st (Cumberland) VB the 4th (TF) were the 2nd (Cumberland & Westmoreland)VB my confusion was with the status of the of the Bn raised in 1900 wether they were militia or VB status. I believe they were a VB Bn (3rd)and post boer war were absorbed by the others.
