1st King's Dragoon Guards

I am researching my ancestor who was a soldier in the 1st King's Dragoon Guards from 1783-1794 and I believe posted to Flanders in 1795.

I have been to Kew and looked at the muster records there but wondered if a visit to the Dragoon Guards museum at Cardiff Castle would help with my research.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks

Have you checked the surviving discharge papers (name indexed on the National Archives Catalogue) to see if his records are at Kew?

I would email the Musuem with your questions to find out what is available.
