Armed Forces / Re: Soldier in 15th Hussars 1845 onwards
« on: Monday 24 November 08 11:17 GMT (UK) »
Dear KM1971,
Thanks for your very helpful observations and advice. I'm Jill's (fifth) cousin, Virginia and we help each other solving family mysteries like Anderson's life story. We think that Anderson must still have been enlisted in 1861 because the information we received recently, a snippet from a family bible kept in the USA and forwarded to us by another (fifth) cousin, referred to Anderson being in the 15th Hussars...I found a Wikipedia reference today that claimed that the regiment was given that name only in 1861...so presumably he must have lasted that long before leaving (or Wikipedia's incorrect on this). Will check out your other hints. Many thanks again, Virginia
