I have discovered that I have an ancestor who was in Wesley’s Army during the Peninsular War.  He was in the Royal Artillery and was among the 25 ish of Gunners killed at the Siege of Badajoz  after surviving most of the earlier battles.  I am trying to study his story, particularly his Army career – ie I am after his Service Docs.or any detail of his death on 6 April 1812 and Masonic burial on 12 April 1812.  I am looking for advice on the approach to achieve this – I have already contacted the Masons and the RA Museum at Woolwich (now closed, I understand) with not much luck.  I live in Australia so a visit to Somerset house or UK not that easy – If you could provide me with advice/guidance/a pointer – I will send more detail. I have enjoyed your Sharpe work and often re watch the material on Utube . –

Thank you,

Roland
