Hi
My Great grandfather Allen Serjeant b1873 Harlton was in the in the Royal Berkshires, his number was 3986 between 2 Oct 1893 and the 1 Oct 1902. On his papers for question 10 where it asks if they now belong to HM Army etc Allen answers, Yes, 3rd Batt Royal Fusiliers. It looks like he was already in the army before 1893 although I have found any army papers for him?
I would love to learn more about where Allen went and what he did when he was away - in particular the West Indies although I would love to know about Halifax and what he did in the Boar War too.
The only info I have on his papers are the dates:
HOME 02.10.93 - 13.11.95 = 2 YRS 43 DAYS
HALIFAX NS 14.11.95 - 23.10.95 = 1 YR 344 DAYS
WEST INDIES 24.10.95 - 18.11.98 = 1 YR 26 DAYS
HOME 19.11.98 - 30.12.98 = 42 DAYS
SOUTH AFRICA 31.12.98 - 12.12.02 = 3 YRS 4 DAYS
HOME 13.02.02 - 01.10.05 = 3 YRS 231 DAYS
Can anyone help me with some info.
Thanks
Carole
