Foster Brown

I wonder if someone can fill in some blanks on my grandfather Foster Brown.
He was born 1869 in Newcastle, his father was John and his mother Mary Jane ( nee Thompson) Foster had five sisters and a brother named Thomas Thompson Brown. His father John was a painter by trade.
In 1891 census Foster is listed as a chemist assistant residing at 95 Elswick Road, Newcastle.
In 1901 he is in Halifax,married with two children and is a stone mason's labourer. It is said he was wounded in the Boer War.
So in the 10 years between 1891 and 1901 there are blank areas.
Did he join a local army regiment, which one?,and how did he end up in Halifax.
He was a Geordie but there was never any mention of this in the family.
Foster died in 1915. Would be thankful for any help.
Regards
Tre.
