Armed Forces / Battle of Waterloo soldier - John Donald
« on: Saturday 06 April 19 18:12 BST (UK) »
I've just found the military discharge record of my 3x great-grandfather, John Donald. The record states that he served at Waterloo and was given an additional two years service credit on top of his actual service time of 12 years and 93 days. Does anyone have information on why that would be? Also interested in any other information on his military service.
Here are the details on his discharge record.
Name: John Donald
Birth town: Monymusk, Abendeenshire, Scotland
Enlisted: 12 August 1806 at age of 21 years old
Discharged: 17 November 1818 at age of 33 years old
Regiment: Gordon Highlanders - 75th & 92nd Foot
