Talk:George Johnstone (British Army officer)

George Johnston (British Marines officer)
Many of the facts in this article seem to relate to George Johnston, especially those in relation to the New South Wales Corps. There is no evidence of George Johnstone being in the New South Wales Corps at the same time as George Johnston.--Grahame (talk) 03:28, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes that’s right, we’ve picked this up at the Milhist talk page. Both Dalton and Haythornthwaite wrongly associate Johnstone with the marines and the NSW corps. Alansplodge has found his correct early career and is on the case - Dumelow (talk) 05:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Grahame and Dumelow, now corrected as far as I can tell. Perhaps the confusion was caused by the 29th Foot providing marine detachments for the fleet during 1793-1795, although as adjutant, Johnstone appears to have remained in barracks. Feel free to chip in if I've missed anything. Alansplodge (talk) 17:43, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
