A regiment-focused historical record that traces the formation, stations, campaigns, and honors of the Cape Mounted Riflemen while placing their service within a brief account of the Cape Colony. The volume assembles general orders, official returns, operational narratives, casualty lists, and citations of officers and men distinguished for gallantry, and records badges, trophies, and biographical sketches of senior officers. It summarizes geography, administration, and military context to explain the regiment's deployments, and emphasizes service chronology, organizational changes, and documented examples intended to inform, commemorate, and provide exemplars of military conduct.
