Gregor McGregor attested as a Boy Drummer in 1855, but was trained as a Piper and is shown in that appointment in the Musters from November 1860 until 1876. He went with the regiment to India in March 1858 but did not take part in any of the expeditions against the rebels in 1858 or 1859. He was appointed Lance Corporal in 1876, Corporal in 1877, and Lance Sergeant in February 1880, just before his discharge on 9 March of that year. Sold with copy discharge papers and full muster details.
