Hello Frances Many thanks for the details on the book. Have had a look at the web site and will purchase there if I can't find anyone in UK selling it.

The blurb begins: "This books is intended to serve as an index to the Chelsea regimental pension registers of British Veterans who settled abroad with an army pension." Details are as follows: "351 pgs/index/list of military units/notes on sources/ hardbound, 1995, ISBN 0806314605." It would be helpful to have a description of the contents from someone who has actually seen this book. (Any volunteers out there?) The Public Record Office online has an informative leaflet at: http://www.pro.gov.uk/leaflets/ri2006.htm (Army: Soldiers' Pensions, 1702-1913). The main list of finding aids, entitled "A-Z Index of Leaflets," is at http://www.pro.gov.uk/leaflets/riindex.htm Best wishes, Frances Original message: SCT-SUTHERLAND-D Digest V01 #35 >------------------------------ >X-Message: #6 >Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 19:52:12 -0000 >From: "Christine Stokes" <Chris@northants26.freeserve.co.uk> >To: SCT-SUTHERLAND-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: A book > >Hi >Anyone come across this book anywhere? >"British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772 to 1899" >by Norman Crowder. >I have only just heard about it and it appears that this would be of >interest to all on the list. >I have no idea when or where it was published. >Christine > ==== SCT-SUTHERLAND Mailing List ==== You may, at times, wish to check out previous messages to this list.
