Quite likely. There was a Protectorate Regiment and a para military Protectorate Police Regiment.

See http://pinetreeweb.com/times-history-04-17.htm.

Particularly The Men and Arms at His Disposal para.

This was The Times History from 1906.

Eventually, there were 400,000 British and Imperial Troops in the Boer War.

Youth in Britain wanted to be there. I have a school text book from a member of my family from that time who annotated it many times with ' City Imperial Volunteers'.
