Members of the Pioneer Corps

Nominal Roll from The Pioneer Corps by Robert Cary, published by Galaxie Press, Salisbury, Rhodesia, 1975.

Additional information (mainly first names) has come from the 1906 will of Frederick Clayton which determined that:
The Hatcliffe Estate (estimated value £30,000) with all livestock implements &c. I leave to my wife Georgina Clayton for her full use and benefit during her life time, but not to be let or the live stock to be allowed to be less than it is at present the mortgage if any remaining to be paid out of my monies in hand. At the death of My Wife the Hatcliffe Estate to be held in perpetuity for the use of Pioneers and descendants of pioneers (especially those descendants of pioneers who have been disabled during this present war) whom are in need of help.

The following from the above list by Robert Clay do not appear in the Frederick Clayton Will

These are those for whom certain sources say they were a member of the Pioneer Corps, but where there was little or no supporting evidence. None of these appear in the Frederick Clayton will

Eleven members of the Corps having been properly attested, were either dismissed or sent back at their own request, before the column crossed the Shashi river. None of these appear in the Frederick Clayton will

In the book there is only about a page (in two column format) of 'biographical details' of the civilians who accompanied the Pioneers. The details given are often very brief, and for about half of the list there are in fact no biographical details
