Found my Alexanders pension records YES, a query ??

[Guest]

Well was a bit disappointed today got the wrong death cert for him , but the good news is I found his war pensions records today , and the name of two of his children YES.
Two questions please what is a separation allowance ????
And could some kind person please go and look at it and tell me what they think is the wifes maiden name , it should be Bruce, but its not clear.
I also cannot make out which regiment he was with ??
Alexander Miller born abt 1880

Separation allowance is money paid to a family whilst a soldier is away on duty. He was with the Army Service Corps (which I think was mainly drivers, but not certain). Image looks like Bruce and if you think that is what it should be I don't see any reason to query it.

thanks Elaine I had never heard of the Remounts must admit ,just been reading the link Nell gave me very interesting stuff,
Thought I'd been lucky in getting the childrens names and birth dates but no, something is wrong.

hi again well he says they are
Esther Victoria born 24.1.1903 and
Edward Alexander born 19.3.1904 both in Mile End
The only Esther Miller I can find was registered in Dec quarter 1903 Mile End ?? so could that be her
I have found two Edward Alexanders one is registered in March quarter 1900 Hackney
The other is registered in Dec quarter 1904 Wandsworth
or a Edward Miller registered in March quarter 1904 St Olaves Bermondsey
