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

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