Recent years

It went on to serve during the American Revolutionary War (1768-1785), and during the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) seized the Island of Martinique in the West Indies. It suffered 1,700 casualties in the first 9 months of 5 year deployment in the West Indies, largely due to disease.

The King then presented the Standard to the Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Tom Armitage, who mounted the new Standard with the Regimental Corporal Major, Warrant Officer Class One Daniel Snoxell. v] Later in the investigation, when I had uncovered a number of service records, I found that every one of them fitted into the inferred name/number sequence exactly, which proved my deduction to be correct.A more accurate assessment of casualties may be possible by examination of The Pension Record Ledgers which are currently being digitised and close attention is being paid to each new tranche of data as it is released. Commonwealth War Graves records confirm that one of them, 49070 Jim Littler from Northwich, was one of those killed, and at least seven were among the wounded [xii] The message came from Keith Marshall in Clitheroe Lancs. who was also researching his father's WW1 experience.

I would like to know if anybody served with 24325120 Kgsm V.J. White (Around 1973 Enlistment). He was awarded the GSM Northern Ireland and the Unficyp medals. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission database of those who died on active service [viii] is another one-dimensional name-based collection that is designed to reveal details of a single individual, and it does that job well, but it can't be used effectively to research groups, e.g. the losses suffered by a Battalion, a Regiment, or group of Pals etc. - and that seems to be a sad neglect of the power of digitised records. Fortunately, there is a solution. Most people seeking to trace the steps of a soldier who served in WW1 will run into the same dead end that I did when I was trying to follow my father's journey through that war. His service record, the document that would have provided the necessary details, no longer exists because most of them were destroyed in the London blitz of 1940 - and that brought the investigation to a halt before it had really begun. To focus my search, I concentrated on the Norfolk squad of 100, because my father was number 85 in that group, and I began the search with the fourteen names above him - it yielded two service records. Then I started investigating names from 84 downwards - and by the time I'd done seven searches there were another two records. After that however, there was a long barren period when no new records came to light. I became a little disheartened and decided to analyse the four records I'd already uncovered before completing the remaining searches.Although our father's service histories would have been virtually identical, their medal inscriptions were different.
