Handwriting on Military Document 1815
« on: Wednesday 25 March 20 19:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me decipher what is written on this document by the name John McKenzie, after 41,  please? I didn't know whether to add this to this group or the military forum.

Thanks - Keelan

Using my trusty magnifying glass the first two letters appear to be:

a very curlesque 'M' followed by letter 'a'

and alternative would be:
A capital 'I'
