BIFFO Posted 4 May , 2019 Share Posted 4 May , 2019 my wife who `s tracing her family has asked me to ask you !! she has a relation ALFRED CORFIELD SERVICE NUMBER 20th IMPERIAL YEOMANRY (ROUGH RIDERS) She thinks he may have been a Chelsea pensioner I have had a look on a well known family research website and found nothing. He may have been in the boar war and to old to fight in WW1. Any help would be good Biffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERITAGE PLUS Posted 4 May , 2019 Share Posted 4 May , 2019 (edited) Biffo I can confirm that he served with the 20th IY in the Anglo-Boer War and was awarded the Queen's SA Medal.

Admin DavidOwen Posted 4 May , 2019 Admin Share Posted 4 May , 2019 Biffo There is a Chelsea Pensioner hit for him it is on Fold3 so I can't see too much https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=QkE717&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&indiv=1&db=chelseapensioner&cp=0&gskw=15688&gskw_x=1&qh=knosj8PlbauLsuZuOjFzNg%3D%3D&new=1&rank=1&uidh=e21&redir=false&gss=angs-d&pcat=39&fh=0&h=627971&recoff=&ml_rpos=1 seems he was 26 in 1900 so possibly did serve in ww1? Good luck David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
