Devon / 8th Devon Regiment

Re: Charles William Sclater Born Exeter 13 March 1862 Died West Australia 7 May 1948
I have a photo which has on the back "Private C W Sclater 8th Devon Regiment". We know he was in Africa in some military or police capacity as we have a photo of him there, but we don't have dates or other information. We know he arrived in Australia in March 1915. So although we believe he didn't take part in WWI he may have joined up and then changed his mind to come to Australia. I can't find out whether the 8th Regiment was formed prior to WWI. Was it this regiment which went to Africa? Or did it only form for WWI?
Can anyone throw any light on the 8th Regiment?
Thankyou, Merilyn

Thanks. If you give me a name and dates of one or two of your ancestors I can look it up on ancestry and also contact you that way. Does this seem OK? Merilyn

Thanks so much for your reply but there are two Oxleaze Farms, the one my folks came from was in between Uffington and Woolstone. Is that the one you are speaking of?

Thankyou for your lengthy reply, you know a lot! Yes, I should have researched more before posting! I wish I knew the history how my grandmother in law came to know it and pass it on to her daughter, who as I said, seemed to be able write it down off the top off her head (no wonder there were errors! She also could reel off all the Melbourne Cup winners from 1936 to 2000!!) I have enjoyed looking at your references and just a another big thankyou. Merlyn
