Described as:

Harry Whitman, a butcher, was born in Ipswich around 1874 and attested for the Devonshire Regiment in London on 26 November 1895. He served with the Tirah Expeditionary Force from 1897-98 and fought in South Africa from 21 September 1899, his Army Service Record adding: ‘including action at Elandslaagte, Defence of Ladysmith and Belfast.’ The record further notes that he received a severe gunshot wound on 6 January 1900. Transferred to the 1st Battalion, Dorset Regiment, on 8 October 1908, he was advanced Sub-Conductor in the Indian Army on 24 October 1916 and was appointed Conductor in 1927, shortly before his retirement.
