The 34th Foot moved from Newry to Curragh Camp in July 1872.

At the start of 1872 the 1st Battalion  8th Foot had three companies in Neemuch with five companies (including Headquarters) in Nusseerabad. The Neemuch companies re-joined Headquarters and on the 30th January the whole battalion of 25 officers and 770 men marched to Agra arriving on 28th February. On 3rd and 4th of March in half-battalion wings they travelled by train to Cawnpore. A cholera outbreak from 8th May to the end of June caused the death of 16 men and one women, even though the battalion had moved to nearby villages to escape the worst of the outbreak.

They remained in Cawnpore until 24th October 1873.

What is your interest in the 8th Foot?
