William Tucker enlisted in the 22nd Foot in December 1832, subsequent muster rolls revealing that he served in Jamaica 1835-37 and Ireland 1837-41, in which latter year he was embarked for India. A confirmed participant in the battles at Meeanee in February 1843, and Hyderabad in the following month, he died in May 1846.
