Hi, I am writing to ask if anyone out there knows which Glos Regiments served in the Boer War. From what I can find out from local history, there was the Glos Regiment , the Glos Hussars and the Glos Yeomanry. Did they join together as one unit or did they fight separately. Be glad of any info anyone has. Many thanks Sue Newman
Hi Susan, Why don't you try the Regimental museum at Gloucester. It is very good and should house the info that you seek.

If you go to the web site of the Gloucester Regiment, there is an old photograph of the Gloucesters marching through St Helena Island with a large group of Boer War POWs - this will give you more information. I hope that this assists.
