TOPIC:

That's okay, English is a very hard language to learn, I just wanted you to see that he had joined on the 20th of March 1900 and not in 1902.
The last year of the war was, real war, at it's very worst.

Ok

It's my fault

Because i said "I believed that he had joined England in 1902"
And I wanted to say: I believed that he returned in England in 1902
(He remained in South Africa for almost 7 years, until the 23rd of January 1908)

How I may have documents about him (in south africa) ?

The British Army left a very considerable garrison behind in South Africa after the war had ended, it was not withdrawn until 1914.
Albert was part of this, but, you should bare in mind the date he joined, his young age and the fact he had joined the artillery, it cost a lot of money to train a gunner back then, he also chose to extend his actual service in March 1904, dates of service shown below as mentioned
His original papers have survived in WO96 and WO97 at the National Archives here in Great Britain.

I understand,

Is it possible to have a copy of his original papers ?
And how ?
