Where would my ancestor have got his wounds?

It does seem odd in view of the gun shot wound being described as severe, Hmm.

Maybe in the Royal Hospital, Chelsea? check the National Archives.

Skoosh.

Reading the rest of the discharge record - he had been incapable of using his left arm for ...... 6 months.

So it looks likely that, in spite of his injuries, he was able to continue in active service until 1822.

Maybe garrison duty somewhere?

Thanks for your answers.

Does anyone know how I can find out where a battalion was stationed?

Edward Price went on to join the Third Royal Regiment of Veterans. He enlisted in Ireland in May 1823 and was discharged in Jersey in 1825.

I'm trying to find out when he would have arrived in Jersey as it will help me pin down his daughter's date of birth.

Thanks x

This site has links to regiments in Jersey (but I don't think it helps)

Between 22 and 29 April 1824 to Jersey to replace the 72nd Foot - culled from newspaper reports.
