    1. Hello,

      I just recieved a document listing British POW's of the 24th regiment during the American Revolution. I thought maybe someone here might have some additional information.

      I believe the 24th would become the South Wales Borderers.

      The document thread is posted in the American section.

    2. Hello,

      I just received a muster roll for British POW's from the 24th Regiment who were captured at Saratoga.

      thanks,

      If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,

      If boats were on land, churches on sea,

      If ponies rode men and if the grass ate the cows,

      And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,

      If the mamas sold their babies

      To the gypies for half a crown;

      If summer were spring and the other way round,

      Then all the world would be upside down.

      Battle of Saratoga
