  The regiment was originally formed as part of the  Imperial Yeomanry  in November 1901, as the  4th County of London Imperial Yeomanry (King's Colonials), with the Prince of Wales (later King  George V) as honorary colonel. It was composed of four squadrons of colonial volunteers resident in London - one of Asians (British Asian Squadron), one of Canadians (British American Squadron), one of Australasians (Australasian Squadron), and one of South Africans and Rhodesians (British African Squadron). A New Zealand squadron was later formed, with the Australasian squadron being redesignated as Australian. It did not see service in the South African War. In 1905 it was retitled  The King's Colonials, Imperial Yeomanry, and in 1908 became part of the  Yeomanry  in the  Territorial Force. In 1909 the specific affiliations of the squadrons ended. With the death of  Edward VII, after whom it had been named, it was retitled  King Edward's Horse (The King's Overseas Dominions Regiment)  in 1910.
