Caribbean, 1st Bn Royal Regiment Of Foot Deaths 1801-1811
These unique records reveal names, ranks and death details of British Army soldiers stationed in the West Indies in the early 19th century.
The 1st Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Foot was the predecessor of the Royal Scots and it appears that many of the men listed in the records hail from Scotland.
