Hullo Andy Wood
I am responding to a posting of yours of 24 February 2010 concerning the Royal African Corps and your ancestor Gabriel Wood, which I have recently come across. I am writing from South Africa and am doing some work on the RAC, particularly their time in the Cape from 1817 to 1822. During this period, amongst other activities, the unit played a significant role in the Battle of Grahamstown, one of the most decisive battles in South African history. I would be happy to share with you the information I have collected and wondered whether you might be interested in doing the same as I have not had access to some of the records in the UK. If you wish to respond to me personally, my e-mail address is: p.irwin@ru.ac.za
Regards
Pat Irwin
