Are there any records about Kaffrarian Rifles?
I have seen a book which has a photograph of my husband’s grandfather in it. I am wondering if anyone has any more details, or lists, of where and what the Kaffrarian Rifles involved?

There may be no full roll for these men anywhere in SA, so this reader will need someone to access material at TNA. Look at Genealogy World’s Anglo-Boer pages and see the code references under both sections – nominal and enrolment. Also try asking the King William’s Town Museum (Kaffrarian Museum) at stephanie.v@museum.za.net if they have any rolls, but suspect not. They may just have the individual being sought, though, so worth an e-mail.
