Military Men - Other

Below are details of the men who served in various military capacities outside of the two World Wars. See the references below the list for sources of the information. If your Wing ancestor should be on this list but isn't yet, please email me and I will add the details.

Those with ancestors serving in the 14th Foot Regiment up until 1845 will find that regiment's Historical Records book of interest.

Wing itself also has some significance. Ballot lists were provided each year of men able to serve in the local militia (note: the authorities would only pick men from the ballot if there wasn't enough volunteers serving), and once the list for each parish was collated the constables of the county had to gather in a central location to swear to the accuracy of the lists. In 1812, the venue for Buckinghamshire was the Cock Inn, Wing.
