William Ward was born in Lynn, Norfolk circa 1854 and originally enlisted in 1871 with the 34th Foot Regiment, from which he was discharged at his own request in January 1873. Ward later attested with the 15th Hussars on 18 August 1876 and was posted to India with his regiment in December 1877. From India, they were sent to Natal in January 1881 where they remained until late December of that year. While still in Natal, Ward transferred to the 14th Hussars in December just days before he was once again sent to India. He was stationed in India until February 1883, after which point he returned home and transferred to the 1st Class Army Reserve in August. Ward was discharged in August 1888 upon the termination of his period of engagement, and intended afterwards to reside in Wellingborough; sold together with copied research.
