Ships the 50th Regiment sailed on

Ships transporting the 50th Regiment

Some of these ships carried members of the 50th Regiment to Australia. Some soldiers Transfered from earlier Regiments in Australia and they will be listed on their ships
We are attempting to place each soldier of the 50th Regiment, who arrived on board their respective Ship. It does not represent all soldiers only those who may have settled.
We have omitted convicts from these pages as the site is dedicated to the Soldiers.
It is not intended to justify or condone the actions or behaviour of some of the military or the civilian contractors in any form, and should not be taken that way.
Information regarding convicts can be found on the following site :
