The South African (Boer) War (1899-1902)

In 1899 relations between the self-governing South African colonies and the Boer republic had deteriorated to open warfare. Canada responded to the British request for support and by October 30, 1899, 1061 volunteers were en route to Cape Town. A second contingent followed in 1900.
