Wounded at Ermelo on 16 October 1900.

This corps was formed towards the close of 1899. Its greatest strength was about three squadrons, but it afterwards fell much in numbers.  The corps was commanded by Captain Bettelheim, and was composed of men selected for knowledge of the country and its ways.
