Hello
My name is Chris. I am currently researching my family tree and have been trying to find information about my Great Grandfather’s life and service within the Manchester Regiment. His name is Solomon Harrison b1869 from Marston Montgomery in Derbyshire. He enlisted at Ashton under Lyme on 12th April 1890, Regimental No. 2171. According to his service record (from Ancestry) he served in India (1890-96) and South Africa. Medals received: India general Service medal (clasp Samana 1891) and QSA (Clasps: Wittebergen, Cape Colony, Transvaal).
If anyone can furnish me with any more information and/or sources to search It would be greatly appreciated.
