Soldier of the 1st West India Regiment 1814-1815. This regiment (along with the 5th) participated in the disastrous New Orleans Campaign. The British raised a number of these regiments recruited from locals for service in the Caribbean areas. They were the first predominantly black regiments in the British Army.
