Perth Digger Posted 28 June , 2022 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2022 No I haven't, Allan, much appreciated. His father, Llewellyn Griffiths, was a military man (I think). He called himself a 'retired officer' in 1898 (and was dead before 1911). Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknown Posted 28 June , 2022 Share Posted 28 June , 2022 Llewellyn was indeed an Army officer according to his marriage certificate (via Ancestry): Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth Digger Posted 28 June , 2022 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2022 And same regiment as his son. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknown Posted 28 June , 2022 Share Posted 28 June , 2022 It seems that he served abroad (Hart's Army Lists 1885 via National Library of Scotland): He retired with gratuity in 1885. Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
