During the Boer War an agreement was reached between the Boers and British that no Indian soldiers were deployed to southern Africa as combatants, rather all the fighting troops were to be British. This was because both the British and the Boers had agreed that no non-white troops were to participate in the war in a fighting capacity; a decision taken through fear of arming Africans who might later turn their weapons against both British and Boer alike. However, many Indians did in fact serve during the Anglo-Boer War as ‘auxiliaries’ in support of the fighting men, itself a not inconsiderable role. A few Indian Lancers slipped through, more of them later :wink2:
