Daniel Fosberry probably came from Alresford in Hampshire and enlisted into the Coldstream Guards at Andover on 1 January 1814. He served initially in Lieutenant-Colonel Bouverie’s Company in the 2nd Battalion but, in 1814 transferred to Lieutenant-Colonel Mackinnon’s Grenadier Company with whom he fought at Waterloo. He was discharged on 14 October 1830 and paid marching money for himself and his wife from London to Alresford, Hampshire, a distance of 57 miles. Sold with some research.
