When signing up for WW1 Ancestor put he had served in 2THRV between 1896-1900 .
Can anyone help with this ?

I'd guess that the RV bit stands for Rifle Volunteers - a militia unit. Can you post a link or a snip?

I think I've got it: 2nd Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers

Oh Thank you, yes that definately looks promising I will see if I can find out any more .
