Hello everyone,
Thank you for letting me join the Forum, I am new to this topic.
I am carrying out family research into William Edward Moore, Regimental Number: 24407. He was with the Royal Engineers and served with the "Balloonatics". He finished his military career as the Senior Warrant Officer at RFC and subsequently RAF. I have some information on him from FindMyPast.ie and also a Google search when his medals were auctioned.
I would be very grateful for any information or photographs people may have on the "Balloonatics" in the Boer War and indeed any material on William Edward Moore.

Many Thanks,
Best Wishes,
Eamonn McHale.

Welcome Eamonn,

Balloonatics men and medals are much prized.

There are service papers for William. These can be accessed at the National Archives in London or online at cost from FindmyPast.
