The Union Defence Force was established on 1 July 1912 under the South Africa Defence Act, 1912, after the Union of South Africa (1910). It brought together the colonial and Boer military forces of the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange Free State. The UDF served in the First World War (including German South-West Africa, East Africa, and the Western Front) and the Second World War. It was replaced by the South African Defence Force on 1 November 1957.
