I read that one of the British Governors of British South Africa want to have the British Veterans of the Crimean War migrate to South Africa. It was my understanding that they would be give small land grants and become farmers. The plan did not work out.

What if the plan did work out? What would the impact of a decent number of British veterans and their families migrating to South Africa in the late 1850's and early 1860's?
