Raised at Upington, May 1900; later 8 squadrons, 786 all ranks; north-western Cape Colony (Kenhardt–Upington–Prieska). Stirling, J. (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.

Second reading of the QSA remarks roll (1 Sep 2026) after a page-scan of all 39 Roll 1 images. QSA 226 de Vee Gert Tpr, "Killed 25.10.01" (Keimoes per Palmer). May be the same man as roll 2's 724 Dewee Gert, same date; not added as a second record.
