Hello My apologies for an error that I made in an earlier posting today. I had noted that my grandfather had served in the Royal Engineers for three years and that there had been a note in his Canadian military file that his former unit was "Terr. 3 years". I was seeking information on Royal Engineer units that had served in the Boer War. In the last full paragraph I mistakenly wrote "was not pensioned off from the Royal Marines due to wounds" when I meant to say Royal Engineers. I also did not mention that my grandfather John ROBERTS had immigrated to Canada in 1909. He was born in 1881, so the timing of his three year service in the Royal Engineers would be in a very limited period from about 1900 to 1909. The Territorial Force was not formed until 1908. One lister who replied to my posting noted that he may have served in the RE Volunteers in 1906-1908 and then transferred to the Territorial Force in 1908-09 prior to emigration. Sorry for the misleading information. Norma O'Toole in Eastern Ontario, Canada
