Just found what I was actually looking for --
The January 27, 1900, issue of The American Field carried – “Noel Money, eldest son of Captain A.W. Money, of the E.C. and Schultze Powder Company, a gentleman quite well known on this side of the Atlantic, as he spent some years here and was quite a good trap shot, has secured a commission in the Imperial Yeomanry of Great Britain, and has started with his troop to South Africa to fight the Boers. The Imperial Yeomanry is 1500 strong, and is a body of men somewhat similar to the Rough Riders in the Cuban campaign. The men are all gentleman farmers, who are accustomed to riding after hounds across country, and are members of various hunt clubs. Their ability to handle firearms has also been considered, and all in all, it is expected to prove the crack light cavalry troop of the campaign. The officers and many of the men have furnished their own equipment. The Prince of Wales has been elected Honorary Colonel of the troop.”
