Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out what the Manchesters were up to in 1898
. My mothers, fathers brother 4051 Lcpl Fred Jackson decided to relinquish his rank of Lcpl, awarded 9 Mar 1898, and reverted to Pte at his own request on 21 June 1898
. He elected to serve under Special AO of 2 Apr 1898 and signed on 1 Aug 1898
. I know he was in Gibralter 23 Feb 1898 until 22 Aug 1899
. He appears to be 1st Bn or possibly 4th Regt at the time? after the 22 Aug 1899 he left for South Africa
.
Appreciate any help you could give me.
