Hello, I am trying to establish the fate of Private John Gorin of The Second Gloucesters . John joined the Regiment sometime around 1892 and was posted to Devonport 1894/95. When the Regiment was shipped to South Africa in 1899 it is not clear whether John was with them or as family rumour tells, he had deserted. A second possibility suggests that John deserted whilst in South Africa and made his way back to England. Any infor. would be welcome. Regards Roger Townsend
