Note 9 — I.

Among these were the Natal Frontier Guards, Weenen Yeomanry, Victoria Mounted Rifles, Alexandra Mounted Rifles, Natal Hussars, Royal Durban Rifles, Natal Carbineers, Natal Mounted Rifles, Border Mounted Rifles, Natal Field Artillery, Durban Light Infantry, Natal Royal Rifles, also the Natal Mounted Police and Natal Native Police. (The corps in italics have either ceased to exist or been merged in those printed in ordinary type.) The last-named corps, organized in 1848, and about 150 strong, was disbanded by the Government in 1854, without any reasons being given as to why such action had become necessary. To this day, Natives wonder what the reasons could have been. Mr. (later, Sir) Theophilus Shepstone, was its captain-in-chief.
