Hello List Joan said: I received this from a friend who was searching through London newspapers and sent it to me in case it was of interest to the India List or FIBIS members. This [British] Army List for 1798 shows that the officers mentioned by Joan, Colonel Aston and Major Allen were in the 12th Regiment of Foot, a British Army Regiment http://tinyurl.com/2uu5fk8 (Google Books link) Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
