Sergeant Thomas Rix, formerly a clerk from London, would appear to have been discharged on 9 June 1847, having been wounded in the left hand, and granted a pension of 9d per diem.
In recognition of its services in the 1st Sikh War, the 1st Battalion European Light Infantry was made a Fusilier corps and styled the 1st Bengal European Fusiliers, later becoming the 101st Foot, and, ultimately, the Royal Munster Fusiliers. Sold with research.
