South African War 1899 - 1902 or "Boer War" Only part of the 11th
Hussars served, the bulk of the regiment remaining in Egypt. Therefore they
generally receive little acknowledgement that they were there at all -but
they were there - 114 on the roll , almost all attached to other units hence
they tend to disappear in the histories of this conflict. |
