West Kent Yeomanry
On arrival in South Africa in May 1900, 36th (West Kent) Company IY was attached to 8th Division for the advance on Pretoria. In July, at Brandwater Basin, they oversaw the surrender of over 4,000 Boers.
They continued to guard lines of communication until their return to England in June 1901. Despite being engaged in several battles, they were fortunate not to lose anyone killed although several returned early through wounds or sickness
