He may have been with the Lancashire Fusiliers, 3rd. battalion in 1898. Can any one help me find out.

Perhaps this should have been added to your other thread about the same person.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Delores had already started a new thread about him on Military Chat a few minutes after this one.

Delores, try not to start new threads about different aspect of the same persons life. It becomes too easy for overlapping records to be duplicated.
For instance, ignoring the immigration threads, you already have a military one

OK, DetEcTive, I'll delete my post, it was done in anger after I posted something then found that she already had that info on one of her many previous posts.

That's quite understandable Margee. TBH, I was considering reporting the OP, and posting the reason why.

Delores - if you manage to find your way back, perhaps you can now understand why its not a good idea to start more threads about the same person.
