(1907), The Colonials in South Africa 1899-1902, as reproduced on the same unit page: 1 officer and 19 NCOs and men killed, over 100 wounded; 'Curiously enough, no man of the regiment died of disease.' Ledger disease deaths are recorded anyway — Stirling's none-of-disease claim is noted, not used to omit them. angloboerwar.com Boer War Forum, 'Medals to the Border Scouts' (https://www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-awards/30317-medals-to-the-border-scouts Roll 2: 724 Dewee Will.
