Pte Purcell, KSLI
« on: Monday 06 June 11 12:02 BST (UK) »
A request of my own..  :)

I'm trying to trace any records or any other leads at all for a Pte E Purcell, 1/KSLI active in the 1890s.
That's pretty much all I have so far. I've had a quick look at the WO97 records on FindMyPast, but no obvious candidates leap out at me.

All suggestions welcome.
Name interests: Boulton, Murrell, Lock, Croxton, Skinner, Blewett, Tonkin, Trathen.
