He was in the 8th Hussars and served only in the home islands. He did not serve overseas.

He was discharged owing to a reduction of the Army. Also being totally unfit for  further service, due to chronic enlargement if the right testicle. Attributable to contusion against the saddle,  when having instruction in the riding school. The disability caused by military service.
His conduct was good.

You  must not ask for things from pay to view sites, it’s against their
Ts & Cs. I’m sorry.

In your original post you mention RRH - so I think Royal Regiment of Hussars. This leads to:

which suggests India and Crimea.
