21st Lancers
« on: Saturday 16 June 07 10:51 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out some more information about a William Risdale.
All I know about him is that he trained as a vet in York Barracks. He was serving as a vet in the 21st lancers at Dublin Barracks where his son William Edward was born in 1887. Does anyone out there know how and from where I can find out any more information about him and his army career?
Thankyou.
