UK and Ireland: Dockyard Volunteers

   BRITISH ARMY 1851.
------------------
The following names have been extracted from the Army
List of January 1851 pages 90 & 91. They are listed under the
overall heading of "Dock Yard Volunteers".
   It would seem that most of the Officers were appointed to these posts on 1st June
1848.
   Their uniforms were stated to be "Blue with Red Facings".
   I would assume that the "Breakwater Battalion" refers to
Plymouth as that is the only one of the naval ports at that time
to have a breakwater. The abbreviation (adj) means 'Adjutant'.

UK and Ireland: Index to Napoleon's St Helena

NAPOLEON'S ST HELENA by Gilbert Martineau
               -----------------------------------------
               The following names have been transcribed from the above book
               published in 1968 which had been translated from the French by
               Frances Partridge.
               Napoleon was detained on St Helena from October 1815 until his
               death in May 1821 at the age of 51.
               During this time the British maintained a large garrison on the
               island and a fleet of warships constantly on patrol.:-
               "By day and night the guns were kept manned, the coast patrolled,
               and pickets and sentinels posted. These were provided by the 53rd
               regiment (600 men), the St Helena regiment (600 men) the 66th
               regiment (700 men), The St Helena artillery (300 men)
               a detachment of the Royal Artillery (60 men) and a troop of
               mounted dragoons (20 men). There wre nearly 500 guns ready for
               action. The Naval Force under a Rear Admiral consisted of the
               flagship HMS Newcastle (60 guns) to guard the port, a frigate kept
               watch on the other approach to the island and two brigs cruised
               one to leeward and one to windward of the island for weeks on end
               without dropping anchor."
               The ships mentioned in the book have been listed separately and
               can be found after the alphabetical listing of the names.
