My GGGrandfather served with the 2nd Bat Princess Victoria's Royal Irish Fusiliers during the period of the 1880's to the late 1890's. I would like to obtain his service record but am at a loss of how to go about this.
I believe that the records for the Irish regiments are held in Ireland. Are these records readily obtainable and, if so, would they be obtainable without having to go there ?
My ancestors name was John Low(e). He was described as a Lance Corporal on his marriage certificate and was a civilian by the 1901 census. I believe he may have attained the rank of sergeant by the end of his service.
Also I would be grateful for any information regarding this unit during the period that my ancestor would have been with the colours. I am particularly interested in where they would have been stationed at that time.
Any information will be gratefully received
