My great Grandfather was with the Worcester regiment from the 1880s his name was Richard George Vant,he served out in Afghanistan with his family for a few years until he came back to Norton Barracks and later had a family home in Evesham.
i was told that he gained position of Colour Sergeant, and i believe he acted as a recruitment officer when the first world war started, infact if family legend is true, he enliseted his 2 sons George Thomas killed in action 25/12/1916 and John Arthur Vant killed in action September 1918, who was previously a bugler boy.
How do i find out if he had any active service out in the Boer War? i dont know his regiment no or anything, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction on whereas i may find this information?
