Transvaal Medical staff Corps white Metal Collars. Took part in the Bambata rebellion in 1906
Transvaal Medical Staff Corps
After the hostilities, it was decided to form a new Transvaal Medical Staff Corps, under the leadership of Lt Col D.W. Johnston of Johannesburg.
Prior to 1903, the only Military Medical unit on the Witwatersrand was a medical section of the Rand Rifles, and it is probable that the Transvaal Medical Volunteer Staff Corps arose out of this medical section. The Unit was formally established on 20 March 1903, consisting of 4 companies and totaled 400 men.
Members were armed for their own protection and that of their patients. As a result, rifle drills and drill movements similar to those practised by the infantry received a lot of attention.(Wikipedia)
