There is much speculation about how Arthur Tomkinson Haywood lived in South Africa. It is likely this was on the back of the Boer War. Young “Soldiers” fought in the Boer Wars - in the second war they made a name for themselves and many fought as mercenaries earning big money. It is possible this is why Arthur was in South Africa and Joined the Mounted police - he may previously been a cavalryman. He was certainly awarded the Queen’s Medal under Victoria.
