Does anyone know if Army deserters were usually caught? If he did desert, it would have been about 1866 or 1867, and he went back to living in his wife's home in Devon (he was from London). Wouldn't the authorities have tracked him there and arrested him?
What would his enlistment terms of service have been, if he entered service in about 1852?
Are there records of deserters, and, if so, where are those records kept?
Thanks
