TOPIC:

Does anyone have any information on this man.
1) He was attested into the Driscoll scouts from the Manchester Regiment.
2) He was slightly wounded in June 1901 and then severely wounded in July 1901, but I don't know where? Does the SA casualty roll tell us
I have just purchased a KSA but he doesn't appear to be eligible, does anyone know anything about his QSA would it be to DS or Manchester Reg?

Thanks Mike
Been trying to fill in the holes. Need to look now at the link between the Manchester Reg and the Royal Sussex Regiment, before and after the Boer war and during the WW1. If its my man then he was killed in October 1915
