It would name witnesses to the event if it's the enquiry
By the end of 1860 the Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers consisted of eight Companies: No. 1 at Hastings, No. 2 at Ramsgate, No. 3 at Rye, No. 4 at Hythe, No. 5 at Folkestone, No. 6 at Deal, No. 7 at Margate and No. 8 at Dover. It wasn’t only the Cinque Ports Rifle Volunteers that flourished. By 1862 the Volunteer Force as a whole had a strength of 162,681 and a Grand Review at Brighton attracted 19,000 Rifle Volunteers from London and the Home Counties.
In 1863 the Volunteer Corps were regulated by The Volunteer Act. The Act recognised the Cinque Ports, the Isle of Wight and Tower Hamlets as outside the normal county organisation of the Volunteers. In these areas the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, the Governor of the Isle of Wight and the Constable of the Tower of London commissioned Volunteer Rifles officers in place of the Lord-Lieutenant of the county.
In 1872 jurisdiction over the Volunteers was placed under the Secretary of State for War and the Volunteer Rifle Corps became increasingly integrated with the Regular Army.
According to the 1881 census he returned to the UK following his appointment & was posted
to Winchester Barracks & then the Dover Volunteer Btn.
On his discharge he's moved to Canterbury as a S. Sgt. in the E. Kent Militia.
