Border Horse enrollment/discharge ledger (WO127-style nominal roll scan on angloboerwar.com's Border Horse unit page, 'Nominal roll images' tab, Roll 1). Raised in the Eastern Cape in February 1900 under Colonel Crewe; part of Brabant's Colonial Division (relief of Wepener, Brandwater Basin, later Cape Colony). Stirling, J. (1907), The Colonials in South Africa 1899-1902, as reproduced on the same unit page. Not previously on the ROH; Border Horse did not exist as a unit in this database. The site's separate 57-page WO100/236 QSA medal-roll PDF for this corps is a clasp entitlement roll (resignations/transfers in Remarks), not itself a casualty source. Recorded in the roll as "misso 5.3.00 Labuschagne Nek" (missing, not explicitly "killed"). Stirling says the corps lost 2 killed that day; Wakelin is the named killed man. Cumming left the roll on the same date at the same place marked missing -- treated as the second Labuschagne's Nek casualty, with the roll's own "missing" wording kept rather than upgraded to killed.
