Military categorization

Question

I have a Scot who was wounded in action in the French Revolutionary Wars about 1794 - I am totally unable to fathom the categorization, if some kind person could help me please!

Answer 1

Is this the ship? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Defence_(1763)) I am not sure there is much in the way of categorization for the French Revolutionary Wars (been looking for it).

If that is the correct ship, we can create a category.

Thank you Natalie.  Yes that's his ship.  But if there's nothing for the war then don't worry - I just felt he deserved some recognition as his wound gave him epilepsy and he died far too young.

Thanks again.

Well, it was a UK ship, so we can find where it fits in. I will look at it later today, Christine.

Thank you Natalie :)

Hey Christine, I added the category, but it had already been created. I don't see the Victor, though, and I'm not sure which one he may have been aboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Victor

Thank you for putting him on the Defence, ( I didn't know where to start looking for ships!)   that's the one he was wounded on so that's the important one.  Many thanks.
