Several years ago I remember contacting the Archives via The Mitchell Library, but it appears there is no access to them at the moment.

Just a thought, could it be PL as in Petty Larceny? Has it been transcribed wrongly?

Hi

I remember when doing this map Sec 7 should be behind the office. It's an area not too well signed and when I asked staff they said they are hoping to replace some of the old markers soon.

As you enter off London RD park in front of the office and go down the path to the left of it. During weekdays staff are normally around and they are very helpful.

I should be going down there myself in a day or so as it's my younger sister's anniversery, so if you give some more details I'll see if I can find anything for you, and take some pics.

ps for some reason it's not letting me attach my map. So here is an old link to it.

I got caught out with that the last time I went, didn't know they had changed the system. So this time already booked. Thanks for reminder.

Nice to get the expert opinion on what might have happened. My own take was totally different and nowhere near the 'official' take. Thanks, will look out those books too. Would there be any records of the 'accident' held within the Bty/Regt, ie inquest type of thing?

On a side note, I know Richard is mentioned on a couple of memorials in London, he is also named on a plaque for the Bty in Exeter Cathedral,any ideas on the connection there?

Again, thanks for the insight.

Hi

trying to trace info on Driver 23158 Richard Dempster, 73 Bty RFA who died on 13 Mar 1900 due to drowning in Klip River. In particular looking for details of his enlistment if poss. He may/may not be a missing relative but need to establish his birth place/parents etc.

I have seen info on memorial plaque, but just name / number
