The EGFF was raised in the districts of Mount Currie, Kokstad and Matatiele in early 1901. The unit defended the borders of East Griqualand against the raiding of rebel Boer parties from Barkly East.

Organised into three squadrons under Major T C Birbeck, with a strength of approximately 300 men, the force provided its own horses and saddlery.

In the Maclear district it was involved in a number of small actions and skirmishes.

Not mentioned in Tylden.
