Armed Forces / Re: Lookup offer for crimea casualty list and indian mutiny
« on: Saturday 29 November 08 11:00 GMT (UK) »
Hello Kev,
Thanks for your offer. I am interested in my grt x 5 Uncle Robert Rands, number 2266 who was in the Crimea with the 48th (?) Northants Foot, and later with the 90th Foot 1st Battn in India in the Mutiny.
I have some information about him, but I wonder if you have more. I think he was in hospital till Mar 1854, and also in hospital at Balaclava Apr - Sep 1855, as well as Chichester depot hospital Apr 1856 - Feb 1857. He was the black sheep in the family and seemed to have spent some time in military prisons, not sure what for!! At one time he was a prisoner in hospital.
I appreciate your help. I am also looking for any information about the campaigns which involved the 90th Foot during the mutiny.
Best wishes,
Tony Rands
