| Notes |
- George Douglas transferred to the 93rd Highlanders from the 31st Foot as an Ensign.
Promoted Lieutenant in the 93rd 30 August 1839
Promoted Captain 14 November 1845
Transferred to 2nd West India Regiment 2 November 1845.
We know from the trial papers that he entered the army in 1836, and served in India, Canada and the West Indies. One of the character witnesses was from the West India Regiment.
We know he exchanged into the 16th in May 1848 being anxious because of his health to avoid being posted to 'the deadly west coast of Africa'.
At the time, the HQ of the 16th were in Corfu. In July following, he joined the depot in Guernsey, and in October 1848 was ordered with his company on detachment to Alderney, taking with him his wife, an 'invalid', and two children.
There, he was accused of killing a bullock, and on denying it, was subsequently tried for conduct unbecoming an officer.
He was convicted on his 30th Birthday in 1849
the land in 1843 to the Scott family, farmers of Bonjedward.
Died without male issue, although at the time of his court martial, he had a son and a daughter.
