Hi all, my ggd william scott Was in the worcester reg 4 battalion in sept 1900 but was in the 2nd in sept 1902. Does anyone know anything about these two battalions. he was in the boer war. new and confused.debo

Debo,

There is a 3861 Sgt W Scott listed on the 2nd Btn roll for the Worcester Regiment.

The roll records the clasps for Cape Colony, Transvaal and Wittebergen.

Against his name on the right it says his was discharged in South Africa and went on the serve in the Imperial Military Railways.



This image is from WO100/184 p138.

There are two W Scotts on the supplementary roll, one linked to the QSA roll Sergeant and the other a private with number 6067.



WO100/184 p179.

Do you think this is your ggd?

Regards
David

dear david, unfortunately these do not match.i am looking for william frank scott born in 1882 portland weymouth,although his siblings were born in bromsgrove and his dad in stourbridge. although i have his attestation papers i would like to know where he was in the boer war and what he did.thanks debbie

dear david, yes bingo,thankyou ever so much.the number 6067 is the same but was crossed out and changed to 53747 at some point. i am sooo pleased i could cry. how exciting. many,many thanks,debbie

Debbie,

That's good news. I searched FindMyPast for him now that you have his number but there are no service papers for him sadly.

Do you know if he served in the Great War?
