This is an essential centerpiece for advanced collectors of Boer War insignia, Scottish regimental militaria, or Imperial Yeomanry history.

Item History
The Scottish Horse was a celebrated Yeomanry regiment raised in late 1900 by the Marquess of Tullibardine at the direct request of Lord Kitchener to fight in the Second Boer War. Comprised of Scottish, South African, and Australian mounted troopers, they gained a fierce reputation in the Western Transvaal. The battle honors “South Africa 1900 1901 1902” on the lower scrolls celebrate their heavy operational actions during the conflict, though this definitive design pattern was officially sealed in 1902 and worn forward through World War I.
