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......

Interestingly, the initial shown on the roll is actually a "J"

Thank You Meurig and Frank.......

Another one we can blame on the people doing the naming.......

I guess there was no quality control........

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
