Hi
Does anyone know what this military service might have been? I have found a record for my great grandfather serving ... His service record is listed with those ranging from 1806-1915...yet he was also a miner and moved to NZ in 1920. He was bonded for 5 years service to pay for his passage and that of his family. Mum knows that he definitely served, so his birth date and name on this record makes sense, just not sure what his military service would have been.
Would have served in the army full-time? been a volunteer or militia type force? There is no record of him serving during WWl, so it is a bit puzzling. Perhaps the need to mine coal kept him working in this area?
thanks all for your time
