Armed Forces / Armagh(75th) Militia/68th foot Light Infantry
« on: Monday 18 April 11 00:44 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone help I have a gggrandfather who was a voluteer in the Armagh Regiment of Militia in 1855 who was released from his militia engagement for the purpose and upon the condition of his enlisting into the 68th foot light infantry.
My question is :What was the Armagh (75th ) Militia and why would he only be released on condition of his enlisting in the 68th foot light infantry if he was originally a volunteer.
Any information would be appreciated
