Thomas Percivale enlisted on 1 May 1811, from the East Kent Militia. He was promoted to Corporal in May 1813, to Sergeant in March 1815 and served with the 3rd Battalion 95th Foot, in Captain J. Fullerton’s Company, during the Waterloo campaign. Only two companies of the 3/95th were present at the battle, making it the smallest British infantry unit at Waterloo. Sold with copied muster roll.
