Regarding the issue of service length:

That's indeed some interesting deatils! I've read in History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902 that there were about 217 thousand men serving in the Regular Army at the beginning of the war, 20 thousand of which are stationed in South Africa. So, what I want to know is, how many men from auxilary force(Volunteers, Yeomanry, Militia) were mobilised? And did the Regular Army experienced any kind of significant expansion?
