Thanks, Tippin

Sorry,

Re; Indian Mutiny

Hi Kev,

Do you have anything listed for;

1  George Gander, 52nd Regt of Foot, Service # 1484
2  John Gander, 52nd Regt of Foot, Service # 2250

Thanks,

Mike

indian mutiny medal roll:

Gander John Private 52nd Foot (Oxfordshire Light Infantry) 

this as well,

Gander James Private 52nd Foot (Oxfordshire Light Infantry) 

wondered if it was a relative?

no Ganders in the casualty list for 52nd foot.

Hi Kev,

Thank you. George is my Great Great Grandfather. John was his brother, (my 3G Uncle). I do know that John died in India of colera on 8 Sept.1857 in Delhi. I haven't found a connection to James yet. I thought that, perhaps, one of them may have been wounded while in India as, according to their WO97s, they both spent time in hospital.

Thanks again,

Mike

Mike, when i get a chance i will check the whole casualty list, i only checked the 52nd foot as the list is indexed in regiments rather than alphabetical.

May have been in a different reg in Indian?

Kev,

George, as far as I know from his W097s was only with the 52nd. He did transfer to the Royal Canadian Rifles in 1858. (That's how my line got to Canada).  George is shown in India, at Umballa from 31-12-1853 to Suthaboo, Meerut, Lucknow, Cawnpore and (Sealkite?), embarking as an invalid, back to England on 31 march 1857.

Thats why i can't find him then, the Indian Mutiny didn't start until may 1857. The 1st battalion where in India in 1853, I would contact to museum to see if you can find out what they were doing.
