=== Members of the Viceroy's Band ===
These were generally seconded from [[British Army]] Units. If an ancestor is shown on a record as being in the Viceroy's Band then one should look for him on the [[Unattached List]] for that year. Here, besides his name and former regiment , will be found his enlistment details, physical description and other personal information.
