I was wondering if anybody can let me know what this article I have found continues to say? I can see just a few lines and it's going to give me some information I have been looking for, for a number of years......so excited about the find!
Kent and Sussex courier 12 Aug 1927
Mr J H Neal The death occurred on Sunday of Mr. Joseph Henry Neal, 5, Dcnbhigh-road, Tunbridge Wells. The deceased, who was 72 years of age, was former employee the Tunbridge Wells Corporation for 20 years. In 1875 he enlisted in the Ist Royal West........
It's about his enlistment in the Royal West Kents, we had an inkling he may of joined up as there was a painting in his house of Rorke's Drift, where a battle was fought and it was talked about to my father.
any help would be so greatly appreciated
Thanks Dawn in NZ
