Hi Annette: The book on the Scottish Horse (1st & 2nd), raised by the Marquis of Tullibardine is: "Southern Cross Scots" J.E. Price (1992). Most of the 53 New Zealanders who joined were domiciled in Australia and joined there. You will find him (No 35410) on Colin Roe's Oz-Boer Website: http://www.pcug.org.au/%7Ecroe/ozb/oz_boer.cgi The 2nd Scottish Horse could not officially sign men up in Australia, so had to wait until the ship had left Australian waters. I think they were in the same ship as an official Australian Contingent, so there was some rivalry.
