Natal Frontier Guard
Hi, I have just received the silvered Natal Frontier Guard badge and wanted to share it. I have had the blackened badge for sometime now. They were based in Ladysmith from 1860-1870's. This is one of the very early Natal units. Have a great day. Andrew

"SLAY AND SPARE NOT". That motto would hardly bode well for enemy prisoners.

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 |
