After my last post 2006!! I have found a little more about my G-father, I now have a copy of the 1885 pay lists for the 1st Bn East Kent regiment in which 1332 Pte John Beard is shown and the final column is blank, although the entries above his show 'to 2 So Yorks' there is also attestation for him transferred to 1st class army reserve to Yorks and Lancs regt 1891-1895.
given what I have so far, is there any chance of finding the attestation papers for the 1885 East Kent regt pay lists??
