If you want to get a good idea of where Thomas Fellows WALTON was while he was with the 57th Regiment, check out "Historical Records of The Fifty-Seventh: Or West Middlesex Regiment of Foot, 1755-1878" by Henry James Warre (Published in 1878).
It is a collection of the official records of what the 57th was doing, month by month, and sometimes day by day. Because it is based on official records it does portray the activities through rose-coloured spectacles, but it is still very useful.
The book is available as a facsimile reprint on Amazon.
BTW, Drummer Dudley Stagpoole V.C., D.C.M., is my wife's G.Grandfather (through his third marriage when he was in his sixties!). He had two older brothers in the 57th - Bartholomew and Martin.
(*), who has created a website exploring the history of these three brothers (
http://www.stagpoole.net.nz/index.html), is descended from Bartholomew.
