James Henry Tierney was born in Jersey in the Channel Islands and enlisted as a boy recruit in the 29th Regiment in February 1860, aged 14 years. A little over two years later he transferred as a Drummer to the 41st Foot and, having served in India (1865-75) and Natal (1881-82), he gained appointment as Drum Major in April 1880. He was discharged in February 1882, his Military History Sheet confirming his L.S. & G.C. Medal as his sole entitlement; sold with copied research.
