Richard Hasler was born at Great Waltham, Essex, in 1794. A blacksmith by trade, he enlisted into the 1st Foot Guards at Portsmouth on 13 July 1813, a volunteer from the East Essex Militia, aged 19 years. He was taken prisoner at Bergen-op-Zoom, not wounded, and later released to re-join his company, and served with Lieutenant-Colonel Colquitt’s Company in the 2nd Battalion at Waterloo. He was discharged on a reduction in the regiment on 26 October 1815. Sold with some research.
