Histories of the commandos are rarely documents.  A recent publication had been produced on the Boksburg Commando and is available for £4 ex p&p at this site.  http://www.cangrow.co.uk/who-actually-captured-winston-churchill.html  The Boksburg Commando was famous for the capture of Winston Churchill at Chieveley as well as the capture of the British guns at Colenso.
