Julius Maybury Kruger served in the Imperial Yeomanry Scouts from February 1900 until being taken P.O.W. at Roodeval on 7 June of the same year. Released soon afterwards, he served in the Transvaal Constabulary until transferring to the South African Constabulary in April 1901; Kruger is believed to have originally served in Lovat’s Scouts.
