| The report mentions the Wiltshire Yeomanry. I've looked through the whole of Mac and Shad and in the medal rolls of the 99th n/t of this chap in the AZW. Anyone any ideas?

I wonder if he joined a colonial unit?

| His brother, Walter Hume Long appears as a Captain in the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, in the War Office Army List, January 1879. No trace in that publication of R. C. C. Long in that unit at that time.
Commissioned as a Lieutenant in the 3rd (Militia) Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment on 26th August 1882. Resigned his commission on 15th March 1884.
Worked as a wine merchant & brewer in Marlborough, Wiltshire, the business was dissolved on 21st December 1889.
25th June 1895, Appointed 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry. He must resigned his commission again as he was re-appointed 2nd Lieutenant in the same unit in January 1900.
4th September 1914 Captain - 7th Dragoon Guards.
Neither Hart’s Army List 1883 & 1915 - in which he appears - make no mention of any previous active military service.
