Hi New to the forum

Have just found what i hope is my grandfathers regiment and service no for the boer war

J W White
Private
service no 3550
Regiment/corps Dragoon Guards
Extra regiment info 3rd Prince of Wales
Medals Queens South Africa Kings South Africa
date 1899 -1902
Medal clasps Cape Colony Orange Free State South Africa 1 South Africa 2

it has taken me around 25 years to find this as we had no Photo's or medals to go on my Aunt missplaced everything years ago

? were will I find the regimental museum for the Dragoon Guards 3rd Prince of Wales please

? any suggestions were I would find the enlistment books for this regiment

? what else would help me in my research please

Did go to Kew a couple of times as he also served in the 1st world war for a short period before being discharge due to sickness by this time he was 38 years old. But there were no surviving records for a John William White that fits.

Thank You Lorraine
