This coming saturday iam travelling to London to the Public Records Office in the hope of finding some details about my Great Grandfather.His name was Samuel Treece and from a newspaper cutting I have from the 1950's which he appears in he indicates he enlisted in London in 1898 and took part in the relief of Kimberly along with other things but does not mention what other than he was a POW for 9 weeks. He died in 1960.As this was over 10 years before I was even born I know very little about him. My uncle has told me all he knows is that Samuel Treece used to reffer to something called the royal horse which I presume is the royal horse artillery.My uncle said he also mentioned Ladysmith.Iam told he rode a horse pulling a gun carriage. Its said he maintained he was in a POW camp with winston Churchill but who knows. Later after the boer war he spent time at the Curragh military camp in Ireland. The most annoying thing is he got medals etc for his time in the Boer War but these vanished out of the family when he died. These could have proved useful for tracing his life. Does anyone know what would be the best place to look at the PRO to give me the best chance of finding my great grandfather in the limited time I will have. Also can anyone surgest what the most likely regiment my great grandfather could have been in taking into account the places I mention. Thanks in advance.
