As a reserve unit, it has a status roughly equivalent to that of a British Army Reserve or United States Army National Guard unit. The Regiment was named after General Christian Frederick Beyers, a Boer general during the Second Boer War. ==History== The regiment formed in 1939 as a second battalion of Regiment Botha.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regiment Christiann Beyers )〕 Regiment Botha was formed a few years earlier in 1934.
