Guest David Viggars Posted 5 March , 2006 Share Posted 5 March , 2006 The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records show that Quartermaster Serjeant W.Viggars (King's African Rifles and 3rd Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers) died on February 18, 1918 and was buried in Kaduna Civil Cemetery in Nigeria. How can I find out what the KAR and, in particular Serjeant Viggars, was doing in Nigeria at that period? DAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 6 March , 2006 Share Posted 6 March , 2006 I suspect he was involved with "Policing" the Tribal uprisings there which led a few months later to the Campaign against the Egba Tribe{around Lagos}{June ~July 1918} for which a Clasp to the Africa General Service Medal "Nigeria 1918" was granted There is an excellent Written History of the KAR simply titled that recently,if not currently in press.
