Origins[edit]

The article suggests that the brigade was established in WWI but is it not the same as the 5th brigade of the 2nd division that formed a part of the Natal Field Force during the Second Boer War? It makes me wonder when exactly it was formed as a unit. LameCat (talk) 16:44, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
