Service record help required
« on: Saturday 26 February 22 12:44 GMT (UK) »
I didn't know whether to post here or on Armed Forces but I'll give it a go here first.

From a service record, have I transcribed it correctly? sorry there's no formatting

89th Private 27 August 1831 14 February 1833 Under Age
Promoted Drummer 15 February 1833 26 June 1836 Under Age
Drummer 27 June 1836 5 February 1839 2 yrs 224 days
Reduced Private 6 February 1839 7 April 1843 4 yrs 61 days
Appd Drum Major Drummer 8th April 1843 12 Aug 1848 5 yrs 127 days
Promoted Sergeant 13 Aug 1848 23 Feb 1849 195 days

12 years 242 days

Appd - means? appointed rather than apprenticed or something else

And the 2 lines below the record, are they names and ranks or something else?
