| Has anyone got any information whether Matthew Gossett held any previous staff appointments during his earlier service in India?
Thanks in anticipation,

| Thanks Ray, I had seen that.
I looking at the period after the Indian Mutiny up until the mid-1860's, to establish whether he was on the Staff of a local Brigadier.

| 24th, No it jumps from Indian Mutiny with his regiment, the 54th, to being an aide-de-camp with Thesiger in the 9th Cape Frontier War. Kenny has sent me something he discovered in The London Gazette, which I think holds the answer, but requires further research. Here's why I was asking: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Staff Group India, late 1850's/early 1860's. Lt. M.W. Gosset (spelling according to some sources) on the right.
