Help with Army pension record 1814
« on: Monday 10 July 17 00:45 BST (UK) »
Hi, any help with this would be greatly appreciated... I have a British Army pension record for Thomas McGraw from 1814. The way the Royal Regiment of Artillery was organised at that time used the Captain's name instead of a regimental number...which is annoying as I cannot for the life of me decipher it..

thanks in advance
