Michael McGrath was born at Cashel, county Tipperary, and enlisted at Clonmel on 28 June 1852. He embarked for India on the Constantine on 11 August 1852, arriving on 18 December 1852, and served there until August 1859, when he took the option of unpensioned discharge rather than transfer to the British Army when the Company’s European units were amalgamated into the British Army. He is confirmed on the roll of the 1st Troop 1st Brigade Horse Artillery as being entitled to the medal and three clasps.
