GRAAFF REINET VOLUNTEER RIFLES (1860-1866)
The Graaff Reinet Advertiser (G.M. 26/4/1860) carried report in April, 1860, of a meeting of the members of the old Rifle Corps (i.e., Mounted Rifles), recorded the disbandment of the Corps and the resolve to raise a new one, infantry only, "This is an excellent movement, for the display made by the former cavalry was never creditable to them as far as regarded the horses, for in cavalry it is requisite that the horses be as well drilled as the men."
A committee was elected to canvass for members of the new Corps: Buyskes, Roselt, Barber, de Beer and McCusker and a meeting was called for 22 April.
