    If anyone can help, it will be MOST appreciated! I cannot locate any papers for the fellow below. It's a very common name, but Fold3 etc only have his medal rolls information. Again, any help with his service or attestation papers would be heartily appreciated. Thanks in advance.

     

    An Indian Mutiny Medal and China clasp Pekin 1860 pair awarded to Private George Smith, 99th late 53rd Regiments of Foot. Both medals are confirmed on the rolls. The Indian Mutiny Roll mentions that he was discharged on 24 November 1859 from the 53rd Ft.

     

    171 Pte. George Smith, 53rd Ft. (Shropshire) Later volunteered to the 99th Ft. (Lanarkshire) where he served as 1319 Pte. George Smith.

     

    Smith was still serving in 1871 with the 99th Regt. (Duke of Edinburgh’s) at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight.
    The 99th Regiment provided the guard for the Royal Pavillion at Aldershot
