Early years

Any reliable source about his birth and early military service? Some say he was born in India. He joined 41th Regiment of Foot before going to 26th. He probably has not participated in any Napoleon War. — HenryLi (Talk) 06:41, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Indeed - he was only 15 years old when the Peninsular War ended so this seems unlikely! The page on his regiment seems a good guide to where he served.
