Hello

Is there anybody with a Find My Past subscription who could do me a look up on the British Army Service Records 1760-1913.

I've got Richard Keynes born 1790 Blandford who is listed and I'd like to know if there is any further detail there, apart from his name, age and place of birth

Many thanks

Jan

It says that there are two images attached to the transcription but they are of a totally different person. I have sent in a request for them to amend it.
