Good Afternoon Everyone......

Does anyone have any records or the above unit......

I am looking for information on: 1812 Private P. Quirke, 1st Connaught Rangers (single bar Cape Colony)

I have gone through all of FMP and he is not listed and he is also not listed in the Units section of the forum......

Thanks in Advance......

After cleaning...... I know I clean......

The Regimental Number is 1612 not 1812...... Also there is a very faint letter "M" under the "P"...... Must have been a bad day for the engraver.....

It has taken some time and I found him...... He is not listed under the Boer War section of FMP but under the general records........

Thanks Merig
