To that list can be added the Natal Police Headquarter's Order Books for an extended period - I don't have the dates to hand - which were found by Jenny Duckworth incorrectly filed umder 'Natal Mounted Rifles'.

Jenny copied the Boer War period for me and a great deal of very interesting information emerged.
