bushveldt carbineers

The Bushveldt Carbineers (BVC) were a short-lived, multinational mounted infantry regiment in the British Army, during the Second Boer War. The 320-strong regiment was formed in February 1901 and commanded by an Australian, Colonel R.W. Lenehan. It was based at Pietersburg, 180 miles north of Pretoria, and saw action in the Spelonken region of the Northern Transvaal during 1901-1902. About forty percent of the men in the BVC were Australians, but the regiment also included about forty surrendered Boers who had been recruited from the internment camps. The unit is perhaps most famous as the one in which Lieutenant Harry "Breaker" Morant was serving when he was court martialed and executed for allegedly murdering prisoners of war.
