Hi.

Can any one point me in the right direction (on-line preferably for the moment) for information on the above unit's history, especially in the Boer War. I am also interested in the career of 23747 G Batts of this unit, but have the record from Ancestry (quite a bit if you're interested). I would love to know the whereabouts of his QSA/KSA!

Thanks

David

David,

The best place for information on the unit would probably be the RE's Regimental Museum. They would be worth contacting.

Good luck!
