William Henry Drake Stations Listed in Army Lists
Henry’s postings are reflected in the official British Army Lists. A large number of these are now available at Google books, or at the Internet Archive – https://archive.org accessed 29 April 2015.
My thanks too to Graeme Marfleet, who in the pre-internet days consulted the Army Lists at the Mitchell Library in Sydney for me, and provided me with a summary of the entries for William Henry Drake and others.
