The Durban Light Infantry was originally formed in 1854 and mobilised for the Boer War in September 1899. They patrolled northern Natal until British reinforcements arrived and once these were in position spent much of the Natal Campaign patrolling the Lines of Communication in Armoured Trains. A contingent of 16 men was sent to King Edward's Coronation in 1902.
