(x) Cape Colonial Forces

The Cape Colonial Forces (C.C.F.) were the official defence organisation of the Cape Colony in South Africa, established after Britain granted the Colony 'representative government' in 1853. Deployed in the 1897 Bechuanaland Campaign in the Northern Cape to apprehend three fugitive Tswana chiefs, the C.C.F. was then heavily engaged during the Boer War following the invasion of the Cape in 1899 and the besieging of Mafeking and Kimberley. Whilst the British Army struggled to relieve the besieged towns, the C.C.F. were deployed on the important tasks of guarding the rail infrastructure and other lines of communication.
