Thomas Burrow enlisted at Worcester on 8 January 1805, a bricklayer by trade. His name appears on all the musters of the service companies of the 13th Light Dragoons, including the special supplementary pay list for Waterloo, and he was eventually discharged on 30 July 1817, aged 38, in consequence of ‘chronic rheumatism and worn out.’ Sold with some copied research.
