The Bushveldt Carbineers (BVC) were a short-lived, irregular mounted infantry regiment, raised in South Africa during the Second Boer War.

It was based at Pietersburg, 260 kilometres north-east of Pretoria, and saw action in the Spelonken region of northern Transvaal, during 1901–1902.

About two-fifths of the regiment's members had previously belonged to units recruited in Australia.

[citation needed] The unit was later renamed as the Pietersburg Light Horse on 1 December 1902[1] The 1980 film Breaker Morant portrays the unit in which Australian Lieutenants Harry "Breaker" Morant and Peter Handcock were serving when they were court martialed.

They were executed on 27 February 1902 by a firing squad of Cameron Highlanders, having been convicted by the British army of murdering a civilian and Boer prisoners of war.
