Hi Doreen

It appears to be the 9th Battalion of the Royal Veteran Battalions  Huh

I found this:

Quote
The Royal Garrison Battalions were formed in 1802 and later named the Royal Veteran Battalions in 1804. John was a Captain in the 6th, which was formed to do duty in the forts and garrisons in Scotland. In 1814, the 6th was disbanded except for two companies which were incorporated with two of the 9th R.V.B. and numbered 3rd Royal Veteran Battalion. John is described as of the 6th R.V.B. and later as the 3rd R.V.B.

It might be worth posting on the Armed Forces Board  Undecided

I like to spread a little happiness around - especially on such a day -  but, between you me and the world, I'd not heard of it before I googled it  Grin Grin Grin
