Hello Barry, since he was born in 1875 it is very possible that he did
indeed serve in India and The Boer War. My grandfather was born in 1870 and
was able to fight in India, Boer War and Great War.
The question would be did he join up in Ireland or England. Do you know
when he left Kilkenny, do you have any idea? If he joined up in Ireland
there were a few Irish regiments he could have joined. Hope this info just
confuses matters for you.
Good Luck
Kathleen
