Western Province Mounted Rifles - RQMS John William Lowers - by: Jake121

I've recently been researching my Family tree and traced a John William Lowers who lived in South Africa from atleast 1895 when he had his first child. He served in the WPMR as the RQMS, It seems plausible he may have been brought into the WPMR as RQMS due to his previous experience in the the Colonial/Imperial forces which he declares on his attestation papers. However I have been unable to find any record of him within military regard prior to or following his time with the WPMR.

Does anyone have any further information on the WPMR as I have found very little on them? (I have already read all the posts on this forum with small mentions of them)
Also would anyone have any idea what regiment he would have been likely to go to following his time in the WPMR or who he may have served beforehand?

Thanks in advance for any information.
