1900 - 1902
During the South African War the Regiment supplied contingents of volunteers who served with The Gordon Highlanders, The City Imperial Volunteers and others. The battle honour "SOUTH AFRICA 1900 - 1902" is carried on the Regimental Colour and on all London Scottish badges.
| These contingents took part in the engagements at Houtnek Poort, Doornkop and the Battle of Diamond Hill and were present as part of the column of 2/Gordons at Lydenburg. The links formed with The Gordon Highlanders in South Africa survive to this day. |  |
1903 - 1913
In 1908, the Volunteer Force ceased to exist as such, and became the Territorial Force. The 7th Middlesex (London Scottish) Volunteer Rifles Corps changed its title to The 14th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (London Scottish). Colours were presented to the Regiment by King Edward VII in 1909.
