Stirling, J. (1907), The Colonials in South Africa 1899-1902: Their Record, Based on the Despatches, as reproduced on angloboerwar.com's Bethune's Mounted Infantry unit page (Overview tab). Raised at Durban, October 1899, by Major E.C. Bethune, 16th Lancers. Not previously on the ROH -- this is a preliminary pass drawing only on the unit's narrative Overview; the site's own 29+-page 'Nominal roll images' tab for this ~500-strong corps has not yet been reviewed and is a strong candidate for a dedicated future pass, the same kind of source that yielded the Border Mounted Rifles and Ashburner's Light Horse additions made the same day. "Captain G 0 Webster was killed in a railway accident at Bethulie on 1st February."
