Could this be him
Name:Arthur Jno Bridgwood
Service Date:1899-1902
Service Place:South Africa
Campaign or Service:South Africa - Second Boer War
Regiment or Unit Name:14th Company Wn Division Rga
Regimental Number:7733

He only served 172 days after enlisting in 1915 and was discharged because he was unable to perform military duties and not likely to become an efficient soldier.
