Capturing in this missive, the sparing prose of Rambaud,<20020513031925.69757.qmail@web13307.mail.yahoo.com> and displaying the suave and sophisticated disposition of Archibald Leach, Lois Masters <ljmasters@yahoo.com> sgrìobh, >Would like to share a resource for British military >records from 1760 to 1872. Before dismissing this >because it is British, please be advised there are >many Scots in the records. > I do not know why you would dismiss the records because they are British. The British military would encompass all the nations of the UK, i.e. Wales Scotland, England and last but not least, Ireland, when it was part of the UK of GB and I. My antecedents served with the British Army and the Royal Navy from the 1780's, having sat on their hands during the 45. Although bored and bread a Scot, I am British whether I like it or not. British does not, at least should not, be equated with English. I suppose the problem is convincing them south of the border of this premise, then we would be ready to educate the rest of the world? -- Lachie. Go sàbhaladh Dia an Banrigh.
