This corps was employed in the Warrenton-Vryburg-Kuruman district, and in
the south-west of the Transvaal during the last sixteen months of the war,
and saw much hard work and a lot of fighting. The corps suffered
casualties on many occasions. They had the ill-fortune to be part of
the column of Major Paris, and under Lord Methuen, when that General was
defeated by Delarey on 7th March 1902 (see Cape
Police). The approximate losses were 12 killed and over that number
wounded out of a strength of 126.
