John Edward Stokes was appointed Quarter-Master in the 4th King’s Own Regiment in October 1866, shortly before his participation in the Abyssinia operations. He was placed on Half-Pay in December 1870, direct from his appointment as Q.M. to the 3rd Depot Battalion at Parkhurst on the Isle of Wight.
