George Hambleton was born in the Parish of Leek, Staffordshire, and enlisted at Nottingham on 3 June 1809, aged 19, for unlimited service. He was discharged at Dublin on 5 October 1822, in consequence of ‘rheumatism & worn out’. His conduct was described as ‘extremely good, he was twice in service with the Regiment viz. in Spain in 1813 & at Waterloo in 1815 & that he was slightly wounded in the right ear at Orthes.’ He was admitted to Out-pension at the Royal Kilmainham Hospital on 30 October 1822.
