[joybar]

Please help, I find this writing very hard to read. It is my G.G.Grandfather Francis Greeves discharge paper from the 86th Regt of Foot dated 1863 in Dublin. Thankyou, joybar

My try which you have probably worked out the bits I am enclosing  anyway:

This one very good that he has been twice tried by courts ---  early in ---  four good conduct badges and --- clasp for the --- of the Indian Mutiny.

Hello joybar, this is what I make of it - though the words of the first line seem a bit strange, so I'm not sure if they are right.

This one very good
that he has been twice tried by Court
Martial and is in possession of four good
Conduct badges and the Medal
and clasp for the suppression of the
Indian Mutiny.

You got it Alexander!

Courts Martial not court martial  (twice it says)

[Alexander.]

Right you are, Dawn.

Think the first two words are 'they are'. (referring to his character and conduct).

A big thank you to Dawn, Anna and Alexander for sorting out the words. I can see it more clearly now. Cheers, joybar
