My GreatGrandfather William fought in the Mutiny. I am trying to find all that I can about him. Hope he's mentioned. Look forward to hearing from you. Eileen, Can I ask why you believe your Great Grandfather was at Fatehgarh during the Mutiny? I could be wrong, but I get the feeling your request for information regarding William Wilks is more general in nature. While I will look for any references to William while reviewing the book on Fatehgarh, I thought I might also provide you with some quickly available information which might be of help. There are two William Wilks listed in Kevin Asplin's roll of men who were entitled to the Indian Mutiny medal for service during the Mutiny in British regiments (as opposed to HEIC regiments): No. 2075 Private 13th Foot No claps Indian Mutiny Medal No. 2224 Private 8th Foot Indian Mutiny Medal with clasps for Delhi and Relief of Lucknow Do you have any information regarding your Great Grandfather that might help you determine if either of the above referenced men might be the William Wilks you are searching for? If you determine that one of them might be, then there are other sources of information that could be very helpful in your research. If I am incorrect and you do have information placing William at Fatehgarh during the Mutiny, please email me any information you have as it might be helpful in finding a reference to him. All the best. Tim B.
