Discharged from Chatham Invalid Depot on the 15th of November 1856, on the grounds of:
"Reduction of the Army and not likely to become effective. This man suffers from pulmonary consumption — first noticed in the Crimea about 18 months ago. The disease is the result of natural pre-disposition. I do not think that his military service has been injurious to him. The disease is at present latent and is chiefly shown by the presence of tuberculosis in the upper part of the right lung. He is very much in hospital and is never likely to become fully effective. At the present time he is able to earn a living."
Served 2 years 179 days. In Turkey and the Crimea, 1 year.
Conduct and character, "good." Not in possession of any Good Conduct badges.
