Hi Mike It could also be the 72nd regiment ??

I would like to ask if anyone can helpme with some information on my Great, Great Great Grandfathers involvement in the battle of Waterloo. This story starts with my mother cleaning out my grandmothers house shortly after her death where she found a package which contained a hand made frame which contained two insignias and on the back of the frame it had the following hand written information The Colour Stripes Sergt William Rattray Blairgorm Nethybridge Worn at the battle of Waterloo We have since found out that he was born on 6th April 1795 in Girvan Ayrshire where his Father was stationed as part of the 1st Fencibles Regiment and he died at Blairgorm, Nethybridge on 14th January 1871 We know that he served in the 78th Foot Regiment and also the Royal African Colonial Corps and served between 1811 and 1826 when he was discharged aged 32 years We would like to ask your assistance if possible to shed more light on him personally via his service record and also in identifying the insignias as attached
