Military Service

Having discovered he had been a Lieutenant in the Northamptonshire Yeomanry before entering the Royal Horse Guards, I have added more summary details about his military service. There are conflicting dates given to his service in both - perhaps someone with access to the London Gazette can firm them. Entered Northamptonshire Yeomanry - 1903 (Who's Who 1971), 1904 (Kelly's Handbook 1960) or 1905 (Kelly's Handbook 1909) Left Northamptonshire Yeomanry - 1906 (Who's Who 1971) or 1907 (Kelly's Handbook 1909 and 1960) Entered Royal Horse Guards - 1907 (Who's Who 1971) or 1908 (Kelly's Handbook 1909).194.81.127.244 (talk) 14:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
