The Kaffrarian Rifles, pride of the Border, trace the origin of The Regiment back to 1876 when its pioneers in The Buffalo Rifles saw action in the 9th Frontier War in what is now the Transkei. It took part in the Basutoland Campaign of 1879, as in the Langeberg in 1896-7, and was prominent throughout the Anglo- Boer War including the siege of Wepener and the famous "De Wet hunt" prior to the onset of the guerilla warfare which brought the war to its end. It suffered major disater at the Hex River in 1914, then took part in The South West Africa Campaign. Having been involved in the capture of Bardie in the Western Desert at the end of 1941, the majority of the troops were captured at Tobruk and spent the rest of the war as prisoners. The Regiment has seen action in Angola and has contributed regulary to anti-terrorist operations.
