Have 250th Anniversary Souvenir Book of 1st Btn. Lists all Officers, NCO's & other ranks with group photos from the tour in India. Not the best quality, but I can recognise my Father in them.

Hi David..sorry not a single Wilson listed in 500 names. I suppose this was one day in a what was, I believe, a six year tour of duty, so others would have been there at different times.
