Has anyone any knowledge of specific MEPO? numbers for the Bow Street Horse Patrol? I have background on them, also have the man's details from Historial collection at The Met collection: joined 1823, transferred 1839, left Met 1847 R div SE London with ill pension. They suggested I look at MEPO5/9 - I've contacted Kew and has a rather general reply, so know I'll need to go there. I've also downloaded the leaflet. Any other suggestions would be very welcome.
