This history has been abstracted principally from McNamara, was born in Askeaton near Limerick in Ireland. He joined the 19th Foot at the beginning of 1847, when the reference given belowgreat famine was at its height in Ireland. It should be noted that There are no records of him returning to Ireland. Over the grammarnext thirty or so years he was posted initially to various depots in Ireland itself, and then moved to Canada, England, especially the punctuationCrimea, and India. He took his wife and daughter(s) with him to India, has not been changed but was sent home to England in 1867 without them, after being discharged from the original 1911 publicationarmy on health grounds.

The history recorded below describes the movements of the regiment between 1847 and 1870. The period of service before India is listed, as there will be many other Irishmen whose lives will have followed the same pattern as Patrick McNamara, who will eventually have lived, married, fathered children, and died, in India. I have been given invaluable assistance in my research by the Green Howards Regimental Museum, Trinity Church Square, Richmond, North Yorkshire DL10 4QN. And, in particular, Steve Rarity, the Museum Attendant.  Attached to this history is a list of all the Officers of the Regiment who were involved with active service in India in 1868 in the Hazara Campaign.  Edward Nicholl has also compiled a list of casualties of the 19th Regiment of Foot in the Crimean War. This list is included, for many of these men may also have gone on to serve in India, afterwards. However, it must be borne in mind that the mortality rate for wounded men was extremely high during the Crimean War, and many listed as wounded will have subsequently died of their wounds.  Patrick McNamara is shown as having been wounded three times, although his discharge papers only record one occasion (a gunshot wound to the left thigh, which had him invalided out of service for nearly 10 months).  Patrick McNamara*'''s known service record, and other personal details, are annotated in italics, where appropriate.   == 1845-1850 ==''' :After nearly 3 years' service in the Ionian Islands the Nineteenth embarked on board the "Java" freightship for the West Indies once more, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hay, and sailed on 5 December 1845.

:The regiment remained at Scutari till the 29 May, when it embarked on the SS "Medway" for Varna, and disembarked the following day. There it remained for a week when the division marched to Alleydeyn, ten miles distant. This was a very trying march ..... there were many cases of heat apoplexy. 1854 There was little sickness amongst the men till the cholera appeared. It broke out on the 16 June, and soon spread with marvellous rapidity.

:On 30 June the Division marched to Devna, over eight miles distant...it was the unhealthiest camp of all. Up to 19 July the health of the men had been very good on the whole, but as the heat increased so did the cholera. The Nineteenth19th, in common with other regiments, lost many men, - no less than twenty dying one day in the Division. Cholera attacked the French with the greatest severity, and they sank under it at the rate of sixty to eighty per day. To avoid further cholera the regiment moved on 24 July to Monastir.

On all sides was evidence of the hasty flight of the Russians, as arms, accroutements and cooking utensils lay strewn about in every direction. The delay in not immediately advancing after the Alma was due to indecision and want of cohesion between the French and English commanders, and judging from the state of panic that the Russians were in, some vigorously concerted action might have brought about the fall of Sebastopol.

Sebastopol was no longer tenable, further resistance was in vain, and the Russians silently and skilfully evacuated the town without the knowledge of the Allies. On the 9 September they retreated across the harbour by a bridge of boats to the forts on the northern side, after blowing up those on the southern side and sinking their fleet. The docks were soon afterwards destroyed by the Allies and the great Russian fortress reduced to absolute ruin.
