Cavalry Barracks, Colchester - Which Regiment?
« on: Thursday 24 August 06 15:00 BST (UK) »
The 1881 census (RG11/1789/105/2) shows Archibald Hunt (b. abt 1863 Colchester) as stationed at Cavalry Barracks, Colchester St Giles.  Could anyone tell me which regiment he may have been in.

Hi Doug,
    After doing a bit of research for you,l have narrowed down what you are after,l hope.
    During 1881 there were four regiments stationed at Colchester,The 3rd Kings Own Hussars,Queens Own Royal West Kent Reg,South West Borderers,and the Devonshire Reg.Refer to www.remthepast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/location.html
    Hope this is of some help towards your goal,happy hunting.
