You could have a trawl through this.

I also found plenty on Google

It would be nice to know who I'm writing to hijab.

Re: h.t chidgey

Herbert Thomas Chidgey was the person who wrote the book.
His birth was registered in 1887 Mile end

1891 497 Commercial road Mile end.
Hugh T Chidgey age 30 Architect and Surveyor b. finsbury
Sarah age 32 wife
Alfred 5
Herbert T age 3
Edith age 1
Percy age 3 months

in 1901(age 13) and 1911(age 23) he is still with his parents


There is a Tiptrees school in Colchester so I would presume the regiment was garrisoned at Colchester Barracks.
