Indian Ambulance Corps

The Natal Indian Ambulance Corps was created by Mahatma Gandhi for use by the British as stretcher-bearers during the Second Boer War, with expenses met by the local Indian community. Gandhi and the corps served at the Battle of Spion Kop. It consisted of 300 free Indians and 800 indentured labourers.
With the Boer attack in Natal in October 1899 leading to the siege of Ladysmith, the British authorities recruited the ''Natal Volunteer Ambulance Corps'' of about 1100 local White men.〔http://www.angloboerwar.com/unit-information/south-african-units/705-natal-volunteer-medical-corps1?showall=&limitstart=〕 At the same time Gandhi pressed for his Indian stretcher-bearers to be allowed to serve. At the Battle of Colenso on 15 December, the NVAC removed the wounded from the front line and the Indians then transported them to the railhead.〔http://www.mkgandhi.org/articles/boer_war.htm〕 At the Battle of Spion Kop on 23–24 January, the Indians moved into the frontline.
Following the relief of Ladysmith at the end of February 1900, the war moved away from Natal and both corps were immediately disbanded. 34 of the Indian leaders were awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal: Gandhi's is held by the Nehru Memorial Museum & Library in New Delhi.〔http://www.angloboerwar.com/unit-information/south-african-units/447-natal-volunteer-indian-ambulance-corps〕
