Hello Rory,
Thanks, yes, I suspect you are correct as his home address according to the "Roll of individuals entitled to the Vic and BWM" shows his address as 99 South Union Street in PE which was and still is home to a large " Coloured Community" His WW1 attestation papers (if they have survived) will hopefully show more as well as previous militarty service.
Nice little research project !!
Cheers
