Hi Bryan, I have a couple of documents that were transcribed by Walt Norris (Barnsley area) relating to the regiment, on the Genuki Yorkshire site - see under "Military" on the main Genuki Yorkshire page. From the information there, it appears that it was more likely based in the Barnsley/Wakefield area. That wouldn't of course stop someone from Lythe joining. Best wishes, Colin Hinson In the village of Blunham in Bedfordshire U.K. Webmaster for the Genuki Yorkshire pages: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ Old and Rare Yorkshire Books on searchable CDroms: http://cdroms.blunham.com/ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >My ggggrandfather, John Ottey served with the 65th Regiment of Foot >and was then Quarter master with 60th Regiment of Kings Rifles.
