The Regt was in South Africa at the same time as the 3rd and 8th Hussars not returning to UK until 1905. The Regt took part in “New Model Drives” which involved firstly the  building of blockhouses to protect railway lines, linked with wire fencing to prevent free movement across the veldt and then using the troops to carry out sweeps within these linked area. Such a strategy, while an improvement on the previous system of inefficient scouring of the countryside by scattered columns took a very heavy toll on horses. With a copy of service records.
