Welcome to the forum.

If yes, it may be helpful if you could provide Christian names for your him.
The more details you can provide may help to assertain if army records are available for your Grandfather.

Morning Dave Yes that sound like my granddad his name was John William Walker and i know he was in the 3rd lincolnshire ,s

Thanks for that, looks like we have the right man. Do you have any more info? DOB, where he was born, where he lived? It may help to see if his record is available.

JOHN WILLIAM WALKER WAS BORN IN SHEFFIELD 1882 RON WALKER

Have you got access to Ancestry or FMP (Find my Past)?

With reference to your Grandfather's Boer war records, I only managed to find his medal rolls. That's not to say there isn't any record of him in the 3rd Lincolnshire Regiment, I just havn't found it. However, if your Grandfather went on to serve in WW1 with the Army Service Corps? There is a record available. Posted below are a few snippets for your perusal. Let me know if this information rings a bell reference your grandad.
