Royal Veterans Battalion
« on: Wednesday 29 December 10 21:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi, there doesn't seem to be much info available on the web about this Battalion.

Did the Veterans have a service record?

Any ideas on where to look?

The Soldier I'm after is William Fordyce of the 4th Royal Veterans.  He would have been stationed in Hull, Ireland and Ayr (this is where his children are born from c1818 to c1826). Other than that I know nothing!

Would be grateful of a stab in the right direction!

Thanks, Iain
