Charles Matthews - Crimea?

A previous post http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=101673.0 gives a few links which could be useful.

From a very quick search it seems that the regiment was in Bermuda 1841-47 and at the battles of Inkerman and The Alma during the Crimean War.

Thanks Philip

You don’t get a pension if you are dead

Jebber - don't spoil my dream!  I had an image of ghosts lining up outside the Post Office to collect pensions.

Think how long the queues would be by now.

Especially with only one till open - the GPO running a skeleton service!

OK - I promise that's my last bad joke!
