Hi, Even though I put these sites on the list does not mean I'm an expert as to there contents. Think you should look through the site, pick out the National Archives section, Military, and put the name in and possibly several will come up, then choose the one which is yours, or the one you think is yours. Take down all the particulars. Then you would have to send for the information, not sure what it would cost. It must tell you there. Hope you are successful.

Does the correspondence about this that I have been reading, mean that I can find somewhere to type in a soldier's name and perhaps find info. on him? I just thought I might find an Albert Crawshaw who I surmise would have been in the Yorks and Lancs, and I know he was in India just before 1900. I keep clicking on things which I think might lead me to something , but no luck!!! Thanks for any help with this, if it won't waste your time. Just for the record, I have my Albert above, my grandad (Br. Imp.Army c 1892 and Boer War) and my g. g. grandad, Hampshire Militia, c 1820's.
