Hello John,

Moseley was born in London in 1872. He was 23 years old when he attested into the CP on the 1st Aug 1895. He was a Clerk by Trade. A single man that had been in SA for over 3 years before joining the CP. His N.O.K was William Whitaker from 52 Luckett Road, London.

Previous service with the Hampshire Volunteers.

He re attested in August 1898, Aug 1901 (His Reg number changed to 111), June 1903, Aug 1905 (Now Sgt) and finally in Aug 1907.

I have a poor B/W photostat set of his papers. I will get a full hand scanned colour copy when next in the Archives for you if you want.

Regards
