    1. Re: [AYR] FW: New collection launched: Chelsea Pensioners British ArmyService Records 1760-1913

    3. Hi, Just wondering if the Chelsea records give any more info than would be obtained from "Soldiers Papers". I have the latter for my guy discharged 1846 and includes medical (hair/eye col. complexion etc, reason for discharge) attestation for regiment etc about 8 pages in all. Signed with an "x" on joining up and rudimentary mis-spelled signature on discharge. Anyone got both sets to compare?
