I was tidying up my tree today and noticed going through burial records my 4x great grandmothers brother William Prowting had "soldier served with 15th Dragoons" on his burial entry. He also called his youngest son William Waterloo Prowting, so putting two and two together thought it fair to assume he had fought there.
Looking at the National Archive site looks like I am on the right track, and further still he signed up with his older brother as there are records for them both
WO 97/110
Covering dates 1804-1819
ROBERT PROWTING
Born DURLEY, Hampshire
Served in 15th Dragoons (Light)
Discharged aged 36
Covering dates 1804-1827
WILLIAM PROWTING
Born UPHAM, Hampshire
Served in 15th Dragoons (Light)
Discharged aged 42
Hopefully at some point I'll be able to make a trip to Kew to view the records, but in mean time I notice they are both listed (under spelling PROUTING) on the following Findmypast collections:
Peninsula Medal Roll 1793-1814
Waterloo Medal Roll 1815
Would anyone be kind enough and able to do a look up, or at least let me know whether the records are very detailed, i.e worth shelling out on credits for.
Thanks
