E B Phillips ex Natal Police and ex Durban Light Infantry. - by: wades

Have just received a newspaper report describing this mans involvement in the ABW. It states that he was in S Africa prior to the outbreak of war and that he joined the DLI in the early part of 1898. The article also says that when the DLI were disbanded in October 1900 he "at once re-entered the Police Force." Is there any accessible record of Natal Police prior to the outbreak of war?

Thanks for any assistance.
