So he could have been recruited in Australia then, but since he died there will be no way to find that out I assume.  Would there be no regimental records that might have this?  Thank you.

Does his # have any bearing on where exactly he entered the service from?  Thank you.

This man-#7487 was actually who I thought was the man I was searching for.  His brothers and sisters said he died in the Second Boer War in this unit.  I also have his burial location.  I updated the initial post.  Thank you.

John Jackson was born in 1861 in Ballybay, County Monaghan, Ireland  He went with his bride, Leah Telfer to Australia in 1885.  They were on the Ship Roma from Glasgow, Scotland to Brisbane arriving on 20 December 1885. Their son John Wilton Jackson was born in Roma, Queensland, Australia in 1886.  John died of disease-enteric (typhoid) fever at Ladysmith, South Africa during the Second Boer War-23 January 1900.  He was a Corporal (Lance Corporal) in the 1st Battalion-King's Royal Rifle Corps-Natal Field Force.  I know he was awarded the QSA Medal.  He is buried at the Intombi Netural Camp Cemetery
Ladysmith, uThukela District Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Where do I look to find his military enrollment?  Any additional information on him?
Thank you.

Hello,
We were given information by a relative.  Just trying to get my husband's ancestry figured out as his great-grandfather was adopted.  He has dozens of DNA connections via the Löhr/Zöller lines.  Online information is sketchy.  Do you perhaps any insight on this?  Thanking you in advance.
