There are some online at the national archives www.nationalarchives.gov.uk you can search under the documents online They are in the WO 97 range. They are arranged in three series : by date of discharge to pension: for the period 1760-1872 the documents are arranged alphabetically by name within regiment from 1873-1882 the documents are arranged alphabetically under cavalry, artillery, infantry and corps from 1883-1913 there is one alphabetical sequence for the entire army For the period 1760-1854 (WO 97/1-1271) a name index has been produced in a joint project by the Friends of The National Archives and the Army Museums Ogilby Trust. taken from the national archives If you cant find anything online then you will have to go to Kew to the national archives, or ask someone to look for you |
