"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

The book was called, Official Records of the Australian Military Contingents to the War in South Africa. It is now the standard reference and starting place for any person interested in pursuing information about Australian involvement in the Boer War.

It was notified that members of the Bushmen's Company who might provide their own horses and saddles, if passed fit for service by the military authorities, would be granted a sum of £16 as compensation, and a refund of any rail freight that might have been paid in bringing such horses to Perth. At the termination of hostilities, if the horses were sold, any excess over £15 obtained by such sale, would be given to the owner.

Each man enlisted was required to be in possession of a certificate from a Committee appointed by the government as expert judges of the qualifications of an Australian bushman.

Service.

The 3rd Company of Western Australian Mounted Infantry for the war, left Fremantle on 13th March, I900, in the transport Maplemore, and arrived at Beira on the 18th April. The Contingents which landed at Beira were divided into regiments as follows:- 1st Regiment, New South Wales; 2nd Regiment, Victorians sad Western Australians; 3rd Regiment, Queenslanders. But the Victorian and Western Australian Regiment was more generally designated the “3rd Bushmen." The different corps were very much mixed up before they had gone far into the Transvaal.

The 3rd Western Australians formed part of the force-of Bushmen which, under General Carrington, crossed Rhodesia and entered the Transvaal from Mafeking. They wowed in the first instance with General Carrington's Column through Rhodesia, until after the relief of Eland's River; afterwards with lord Methuen's Column, and subsequently with General Plumer's Force,

The Contingent, small as it was, was split up; but saw a great deal of fighting throughout July, August, and September, 1900, in the district between Mafeking in the west, and Warmbad, north of Pretoria, in the east. At Kostsr's River (19th, 21st, 22nd July) there was a prolonged engagement in which parties from the different Australian Colonies took a large share. The 3rd Western Australians, with a strength of about 70, had Captain (Medical Staff) F. T. lngoldby, and several others wounded. They were associated with the 3rd Victorians ; and, as before stated, formed the 3rd (sometimes called the 2nd) Regiment of Australian Bushmen.

A few Western Australians, acting under Captain Ham, 3rd Victorians, were in the Australian garrison which made a stiff defence at Eland's River in the Rustenburg district, 4th to 16th August. (Vide Now South Wales Citizen’s Bushmen, p. 73, and 3rd Queensland Contingent.) Another small detachment were with General Carrington, when he attempted to effect Hore's relief from the west; while the first troops to march into the place as the advanced scouts of Lord Kitchener's force, which relieved the garrison from the south-east, were men of the 1st Western Australians.

During the last few months of 1900, and up to April, 1901, the 3rd, as part of the 3rd Australian Bushmen with General Plumer's Force, saw much fighting in many parts of the seat of war; and, under the fine leadership of Major Vialls, always did well.

Received from Lord Roberts, 3rd December, 1900:

“Lord Kitchener informs me that General Paget has brought to his notice the great gallantry of Major Vialls, 3rd Western Australians, and of the magnificent behaviour of that regiment in a recent engagement. I offer to their relations and to the colony generally, my most hearty congratulations."


Captain Hurst remained in South Africa after the return of his Contingent to Australia. While attached to “G" Battery Royal Horse Artillery, then converted into Mounted Rifles, he was severely wounded in action at Boochbult, Western Transvaal, Slat March, 1902.

The 3rd left Cape Town on 9th May, 1901, in the transport Morayshire, and arrived in Fremantle on the 28th,

Disbanded, 18th August, 1901.
