Thanks for the documents you sent me. In the History of the Sappers and Miners they mentioned the Fuerist Forces. In Ancestry I found a family of Fuerist's who now live in America but ancestors came from Spain.
I now I am drawing a long bow but I'm wondering if he could perhaps have drawn some of his forces from mercanaries from The UK.
In your email to me you mentioned many mercanaries were men fleeing from poverty or convictions. I doubt that it was poverty apparently as many years later a Solicitor had traced him to New Zealand and wanted him to sign documentation to claim an inheritance. He refused!
Thanks
