Hello All, My Grandfather was in a Militia Reserve unit with the Royal Irish Regiment. In January 1900, he and his unit were mobilized whereupon they traveled to SA and fought in the Boer War. If have recently obtained a copy of his Militia Reserve, RIR's Attestation Papers. There is a question/answer on the second page of the papers that I don't understand. The question asks what "No. of Militia trainings the man has served?" and the answer is "4". Does anyone happen to know if the '4 trainings' refers to 4 years in the Militia or attending some type of Militia training, say, once a year for 4 years? Any information would be much appreciated.
