The Argus, Melbourne. 2nd February 1901. MARQUIS OF TULLIBARDINE'S SCOTTISH HORSE. Candidates for Tullibardine's Corps of Scottish Horse for South Africa, who have given their names to Colonel Creagh, of Hopetoun-chambers, Elisabeth-street, are asked to attend at the Victoria Barracks on Thursday, 7th February, at 10 o'clock a.m., for medical examination, and testing in riding and shooting. Candidates must be Scotch, or of Scottish descent, and unmarried. No married men will be taken. Candidates must distinctly understand that they have to present themselves for examination at their own expense, and if rejected, have to return at their own expense. They receive neither pay nor equipment until they arrive in South Africa, and are enrolled there. The Victorian Government undertakes no expense or responsibility in connection with the matter, beyond that of passing them through the medical, riding and shooting tests. Arrangements have, however, been made for the free passage of those selected on board the transport Orient. Owing to the limited accommodation on the Orient, after providing for the Victorian Fifth and Sixth contingents, of 1,000 men, it has been found necessary to reduce the number of the Tullibardine troops from 230 to 200. Nearly a thousand names were sent in, and from these Colonel Creagh has selected the 312 given below..... The Bendigo Advertiser. 18th May 1901.
