Hi

I think i have solved the issue of what regiment. I have been in contact with one of my dad's cousins and she says that William was in the 6th Dragoon Guards, but thinks they have now changed their name.

Would this help in finding his records?"?? Where would I start looking?

cheers
Justine

This brief part of its history certainly fits very neatly.

It was back in India in the late 1870s to fight in the 2nd Afghan War. The regiment then returned to England until the outbreak of the Boer War, during which it helped relieve Kimberley. It was then moved straight to India for five years in 1903, where it paraded at the 1906 Bangalore Durbar before the future George V.
