ANTIGUA: Brig-Gen Crofton Vandeleur (d1806) - Memorial?
« on: Monday 21 September 09 10:12 BST (UK) »
Brigadier General Crofton Vandeleur 'Commander of HM Troops on that island' died of fever in Antigua on 31 Oct 1806 and was buried in the churchyard at Falmouth, Antigua.

I'm looking for any memorial to Vandeleur that might still exist.

thanks for any advice.

Gerry
