My ancestor was a private in the Coleford Company of Rifle Volunteers, serving around the 1880's. I believe this group was part of the 2nd Volunteers Battalion of the Gloucestershire Regiment. This company participated in encampments on Stinchcombe Hill (near Dursley), Wimberry Slade range, Minchinhampton, and Prestbury (near Cheltenham)where they participated in physical competitions with other like companies from Cheltenham, Stow, and Dursley. Please let me know if you have knowledge of, or interest in this company as I have a few articles written at the time regarding their activities which lists names of men participating.
