I'm looking for information of James Geoffrey Hamilton enlisted Northumberland Fusilers arrived in SA August 1902 from Antigua transferred as Sgt. to Military Prison Staff Corps. He must have had his wife here as there were children born in the Camp. Where can I look for further information.

Slingers,

There are papers available for him in the National Archives and via FindMyPast. He was from Hatfield, Herefordshire.

He appears also to have served in the Great War.

I am not sure of the records available post the War.

I'm a little surprised that you don't appear to consider WO363 to be enough, it is remarkably complete, he would certainly have been on the married establishment whilst part of the SA Garrison, he served in the Buffs during the Great War until his discharge.
