Frederick White enlisted into the 92nd Foot at Head Quarters on 26 November 1802. He took part in the expedition to Copenhagen in 1807, with Sir John Moore’s expedition to Portugal and Spain in 1808-09, and in the expedition to the Walcheren later in 1809. He again served in Portugal and Spain from September 1810 and was wounded in December 1813, almost certainly at Nive. He remained wounded in France until June 1814, when he returned to England, and is last recorded in the muster up to 24 September 1815. Sold with research.
