I am trying to locate any further information about Sgt W. Skeet - ie what happened to him after the war etc anything at all - any pointers and I would be extremely grateful. My wifes grandfather was a Boer and in an incident in the Orange Free State in 1901 took a pair of Fieldglasses ( engraved Sgt W. Skeet Royal Sussex Regiment ) off a 'Tommy" Sgt W. Skeet No 7254 of the Royal Sussex Regt ( I also saw a number 2384 as a Private Skeet not sure if this is correct though ?) Initially served as Private with the First Battalion, then as a Sergeant with the Second Volunteer Active Service Company which was attached to the First battalion between May 1901 and June 1902 - apparently he was granted discharge in South Africa in may 1902 Medal Entitlements were; SA Medal and Clasp Action in Johannesburg, Diamond Hill, Wittebergen and the Cape Colony Thanks and Regards, David V.
