Canadian Scouts c 1900,
v rare cap badge £185 Canadian Scouts, raised in South Africa in December 1900 and January 1901, was the brainchild of Lieutenant Arthur
L. "Gat" Howard, the machine gun officer of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. No doubt reflecting Howard's enthusiasm
for the weapon, the Canadian Scouts' armament included six Colt machine guns, a larger number than normal. Howard commanded
the unit with the rank of major. Most of the other officers had served as non-commissioned officers in the second Canadian
contingent, among them the former commanders of the scout sections of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and the Canadian Mounted
Rifles. Howard must have done a good job of marketing the Canadian reputation as scouts, for the British agreed to pay a premium
for their service of two shillings a day above the customary rate.
After Howard was killed in action on 17 February 1901,
at the age of 55, the unit continued as a corps of scouts, but it evolved into an irregular mounted corps of four squadrons,
a machine gun battery, a troop of Black South African scouts, and a transport column, in all about 475 men. By this stage,
however, most of the men in its ranks were not Canadians, but included men from throughout the British Empire. Known for disdaining
standard military discipline, the Canadian Scouts gained a reputation as a group of hard-riding, implacable, and death-defying
soldiers. They saw plenty of action and suffered a large number of casualties. While not officially a Canadian unit, the Scouts
never fully lost their Canadian character, and certainly did nothing to diminish the impressive reputation earned by more
conventional Canadian units. |
