How a soldier in the Crimean War became non-effective
« on: Saturday 11 June 22 19:53 BST (UK) »
I've found records of my great, great grandfather in the Rifle Brigade's muster books. Henry Swendell  was a soldier in the Crimean War from September 1854 until the middle of 1855 when he was sent home. In the muster books Henry is recorded with a group of about 16 men with the attached remark recorded in the column "How became non-effective"

I can't make out what it says. If anyone could decipher I'd be very grateful.

I think it might say:
Invalided from Scutari to England.

That certainly sounds plausible.

Thank you.
