Australian seeking a volunteer to do research

[martin george christopher smith]

I live in Perth, Australia and would welcome a volunteer to research some of my European Bengal Horse Artillery men. The registers end in 1839 so the men who fought in Afghanistan 1842, Sutlej and Punjab wars 1845-49 also the Indian Mutiny are not in these earlier registers. If it incurs a small cost I happy pay.
When in the Uk I am not able to travel into London to research.
