Hi
I have a GG-Uncle who served with Kitchener's Fighting Scouts.
I have found information on the corps but I'm curious to know why he would join Kitchener's Fighting Scouts rather than a Victorian unit being raised around the same time.
Unit information on this site states Kitchener's Fighting Scouts was raised in December 1900, being recruited in Cape Colony and Natal and his enlistment states he enlisted at Salisbury.
What does this really mean for a farmer from Mortlake, Victoria, Australia?
Cheers
Ross
