I am researching a soldier called Herbert Barker of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI) who served in both the Boer War, Nigeria and WWI. As a Cpl or Sgt on Maxims at the Battle of Magersfontein he did something wrong and was court martialled on 27th February 1900. His records do not show the details of the charge or finding but there is some detail about trying to get the offence expunged so he could get the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. The War Office refused to expunge the offence. The usual sources have been tried, such as PRO, KOYLI Museum and Records etc but without success. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where one might find court martial records. Would there be any chance that they might exist in South Africa? I don't know why they should but just......maybe. All suggestions welcome. Happy New Year to all, Tony Lyons
