===Enlistment in British Empire countries===
This Rootsweb Australia Message Board [http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.oceania.australia.general/4184/mb.ashx?pnt=1 2004 post] is called “Chelsea Pensioners - soldiers with an Australian connection”. It includes details of two men who were born in Australia and served in the Madras Artillery. They probably joined British Army regiments in Australia, subsequently served in India and transferred to the Madras Artillery in India. It is an indication that men in the British Army may have been born in countries other than Britain and Ireland.
