11. Second Boer War personnel records 1899-1902. The British forces in South Africa during the Second Boer War, also known as the South African War and sometimes imprecisely referred to simply as the Boer War, consisted of:. units of the regular army; militia units; the Imperial Yeomanry (a volunteer mounted infantry regiment set up largely for service in South Africa). Listed in the table below are the insignia—emblems of authority—of the British Army. Badges for field officers were first introduced in 1810 and the insignia was moved to the epaulettes in 1880. On ceremonial or parade uniforms these ranks continue to be worn on the epaulettes, either as cloth slides or as metal clips, although on the modern 'working dress' (daily uniform) they are. The Victorian era Scott Guards uniform comes with embroidered collar, cuffs and wings/shells. The Victorian era Scott Guards uniform tunic has 3 rows or 3 buttons each. The Victorian era Scott Guards uniform tunic is priced at US$ 155 and the trousers are priced at US$ 65/UKP 50 including custom tailoring and door delivery.
