Rimington's Guides (also known as Rimington's Tigers or Rimington's Corps of Guides) were a unit of light horse active in the Second Boer War. They were led by Major Rimington, later Colonel Rimington. He also led a column in the later stages of the war. The Rimington's Guides also had the name Rimington's Tigers due to the leopard skin hatbands worn on their slouch hats. Rimington gave his Corps of Guides the nickname "catch-'em-alive-o's while other forces gave him the nickname "The Night Cats because of their night marches and stealth like movement." The unit recruited from English speaking South Africans; every man in Rimington's Corps of Guides was obliged to speak at least one of the local dialects of Boer and Kafir, with many speaking both. They were armed with carbines and pistols, riding light ahead of the main army. Lisle March Phillips (1863-1917) was the British author of: With Rimington (1901), In the Desert and the Hinterland of Algiers (1909), Art and Environment (1914) and Europe Unbound (1916).
