Enrolled Military Pensioners Force
This unit served in Western Australia 1850 - 1880 and Tasmania. The unit was made up of men from, Serving Military units, who had retired or had been pensioned out of service. Many had served in Australia as convict guards in the past and had returned to serve within this force. The Pensioner force took over many of the rolls of the line Regiments which allowed them to be transferred out of Australia.
Can the original unit be found? George is listed as 30 and a blacksmith in 1841 census and not born in Kent. Not listed as a Chelsea Pensioner.
May or may not be the right one.
