G'day, I'm researching Richard ADDY of the 95th, he later served with them at Waterloo, 18 June 1815. Are any other Listers familiar with the activities of the 95th ? Peter THOMAS Darwin, AUSTRALIA <pmthomas@bigpond.com>

G'day Peter, The 85th & 95th . "Half of the Army 85th & 95th had been marched forward and halted about 300 yards from Jackson's line. These troops had stacked their guns and with picks and shovels were busily finishing fieldworks from which they fully expected they would demolish the American position. The 85th and 95th coveredthe working parties in front and on the flanks, and the entire operation was conducted as quietly as possible." Three companies of the 95th were part of the attacking force attacking what was considered to be Jacksons weakest point, from battery 8 to the swamps. Quote from the book " The battle of New Orleans" by Robert V. Remini, ISBN 0-670-88551-7 Another with very good detail of the Battle, but not much mention of the 95th is "The British at the Gates, by Robin Reily" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Thomas" <pmthomas@bigpond.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 7:12 AM Subject: [WARof1812] British 95th Regiment - New Orleans, 1814 > > G'day, I'm researching Richard ADDY of the 95th, he later served with > them at Waterloo, 18 June 1815. > ----- Original Message -----
