Default 2nd Tower Hamlets VRC

Hi,

Could anybody kindly advise me of any known repository for service records or musters for the 2nd Tower Hamlets Volunteer Rifle Corps, for the period either side of 1900?

My 2 x great uncle, William Charles BATTEY (1879-1935), was with this unit prior to serving a year with 2/RIR during the Boer War (1900-01). He was attested and medically examined at 66 Tredegar Road, Bow, London, where I note the Volunteers had their drill hall. I would be interested to see if he returned to the VRC following his SA service with the Irish Rifles.

Any help would be much appreciated.
