Soldiers returning from Bermuda 1902
Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:19 pmAn Ancestry record on the UK Incoming Passenger Lists shows a group of passengers labelled 'soldiers and families returning from Bermuda'. The ship is the Corinthian; Port of Departure: St John, New Brunswick, Canada; Arrival Date: Apr 1902; Port of Arrival: Liverpool, England.
It seems possible that the soldiers were part of the 4th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment who guarded Boer POWs in Bermuda (see ERROR://www.bermuda-online.org/britarmy.htm) but there is no indication of Regiment on the ship's manifest. The Colonel travelling on the same ship is Col. Bayley.
The soldier I am interested in is T.F. Cozens. I wonder if anyone knows how I can find out which regiment he was in and whether his military records exist.
I would be grateful for any help.
