Another lost Mitchell - Help needed!

[PhotoFamily]

This one is William Frederick Mitchell, born 1863, Kildare. I'm looking for his British Army record. I didn't find his records in FMP.

Family rumor is that he was wounded in the Boer War. Since he's in Devon for the 1891 census (assistant jeweler/watchmaker) and he's in the US then Canada in 1902, I thought it would have been in the First Boer War.

I believe he served in the 2nd Dorset Regiment then the 2nd Devonshire Regiment. He did not stay in till pension.

Ultimately, I hope to retrieve his attestation papers.

Thanks!

Thanks, Kyle.

I'm already working with a researcher, but was hoping to get a leg up on starting the search
