Warren's Mounted Infantry
were raised in December 1900 by Lieutenant Colonel F J Warren and were involved in many skirmishes in Cape Colony. Stirling notes how they 'do not seem to have been in any satisfactory stand-up fight.'

QSA (3) Cape Colony, South Africa 1901, South Africa 1902 (155 Tpr. A. Brown. Warren's M. I.), a late issue with fixed suspension.
Abraham Brown was born in 1866, probably in the United States, for his wife was living in La Cross, Wisconsin at the time of his enlistment in Warren's Mounted Infantry in January 1901, when he was a shopkeeper. He was discharged at Cape Town in June 1902. His name appears on the Medal Roll for four other units: Scott's Railway Guards (No. 1920), Western Light Horse (No. 171), Worcester District Mounted Troops (No. 34) and Peninsula Horse (No. 1355).
