The medal roll for the Corps should be in WO100/241 but is evidently missing surnames A-W of the Cattle Rangers that would be inserted before page 214 on that roll.  As a result only about 13 names are listed on the medal rolls.

The nominal roll for the Corps lists 512 names.

The earliest attestation date was 12 April 1901 and latest was 12 November 1901. The earliest discharge was 31 May 1901 and latest was 23 March 1902. The average number of days service was 163 or about 5 and a half months.
