George Mayne was born at Wargrave, Henley-on-Thames, in 1847 and attested for the Royal Artillery in London on 10 October 1866. He served with the Royal Artillery in Singapore for 9 years and 223 days, and was promoted Bombardier on 14 April 1874, and Corporal on 14 August 1875. He was discharged in Singapore on 21 May 1878, after 11 years and 224 days’ service, due to a disability ‘most probably originally due to exposure during the Perak campaign and the relating climate of the Straits Settlements’.

Sold with copied discharge papers.
