I am looking for my grandfather William Tyson. I have not found him on the 1901 census so he might have been in the Boer War. Family oral history suggests that he was/ had been a soldier. He was described as an omnibus conductor and private in Royal West Kent Regiment on his marriage certificate in 1914. He enlisted in the Royal West Kent Regiment at Depford on 5 September 1914. One of his three medals was the 1914-15 star. He was killed on 25 September 1916 at the battle of the Somme whilst serving with "The Buffs". Family oral (my Mother who was 18 months old when he was killed) suggest that he was in the "Green Howards" at one time. What was someone who was born in Bermondsey doing in a Yorkshire Regiment? Any information? Colin
