Earl Kitcheners Own Frontiersmen laying a wreath at the Remembrance Stone in Brookwood Military Cemetery
Wikipedia states: "The Legion of Frontiersmen is a paramilitary group formed in Britain in 1905 by Roger Pocock, a former constable with the North-West Mounted Police and Boer War veteran." Extract from the Frontiermen website: "Among the early members of the Frontiersmen movement were Antarctic explorers Captain Ernest Shackelton and Captain Scott, Captain Oates, Edgar Wallace, General Sir John French, Field Marshall Lord Birwood, General Lord Lock, and General Sir Peter Strickland. In 1994 International Overseas Command and European Command amalgamated and formed a new Command with membership extending to Allied countries of Europe, member countries of NATO and member countries of the Commonwealth. This was later expanded to include the United States of America. Thus enabling any person residing outside the British Commonwealth to be a member, and requiring no form of oath of allegiance to be admitted to the membership. Presently, there are five official corps of the Legion: Commonwealth Command “Countess Mountbatten‘s Own“, Independent Overseas Command, Corps of Imperial Frontiersmen, the Australian Division, and Legion of Frontiersmen in Canada. Today, the Legion promotes the same treatise as that of the formation of the Frontiersmen, to be of service to our nations and communities, especially in times of national disaster or conflict."
