Boer War Help

[Rotiniana]

Hi can anyone help with some information on the Boer War 1900-1902.
I am interested in Edward Gooch B May 1875 Northumberland.
Living Lewisham when it is believed he joined Royal East Kent Yeomanry.
Believed stationed at Maidstone Barracks (met his wife) and it is known he returned to Maidstone June 1902(Source History of Maidstone) I am after any musters that would confirm or any info. He was my Grandfather.
Help!! anything gratefully recieved. Rotiniana
