Hi Ian and thanks for your reply.

 His name is John ASHER and he must have been born 1879 or 1880 as he was shown as 29 1/5 on 9 5 1902. He seems to have been discharged from 3rd Bttn. Wiltshires in Devizes as a private with his civvy occupation listed as 'groom'. The discharge letter is addressed to Thruxton near Andover but I can't say if this is the original envelope.

Thanks for you help and interest.

Andy.

Hello,

I have been passed a discharge paper and a medal for my great grandfather who was enlisted on 10/5/1897 and dicsharged on 9/5/02 from the Wilts Rgt. serving in South Africa and St. Helena. Where do you suggest I find out more? His medal has bars on it for Wiittenbergen, Transvaal and Cape Colony. I don't know anything else about him.

Thanks,

Andy
