Military records

[insidecentre]

 
Hi

I've been recently following my two gg uncles,William Henry Hucker born  Okehampton 1875 and his brother, Thomas Hucker, born Okehampton 1873. I believe both served in the military in the Devonshire Regiment, William in WW1 and Thomas in the 2nd Boer war. I was hoping someone might be kind enough to assist me in finding their military records or point me in the right direction so that I do so.
Many thanks
Lee
