Hello Waitara

My GG Grandad William Richard Joseph was also in the 14th West Yorkshire Regiment and in the 1881 census is a private in the army based at " The Verne Citadel "in " The Isle of Portland ", Dorset. My William must of known your Absolom !

I found my William's Army records at Kew.  Very informative.

The West Yorkshire Regiment fought in the Second Anglo-Afghan War 1878-1880. Here is a link to the website.

Hi Tom,

Welcome to RootsChat :)

I am sorry but waitara is having problems with his email at the moment, I am hopeful that I have managed to get a message to him via Mrs Waitara.

Hope to see him soon
