29th Regiment
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 14:52 GMT (UK) »
I found a reference to a John McArthur army pensioner 29th Regiment on an old death certificate from 1905.

I suspect the Army service probably took place more than 40 years before that. Any help finding service information would be great. Thanks

Might it be 79th? There's a John McArthur of the 79th, born around 1800.
