Men listed as deserting from the Regiment

These men have been recorded as deserting from the Regiment in which they served. There is more than a strong possibility these men eventually settled. We have included them as they received a description etc. and it may be of help to their descendants. Today we understand why these men deserted, many were treated worse than the convicts were.
