Just came upon this thread. My 5th great-grandfather, James Logan, was a member of the 71st. He was wounded, and along with many Highlanders of different regiments was sent to the Royal Garrison Battalion to garrison Bermuda. After the war, he and many of the Battalion, took land grants, and founded my home town of Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia. I have quite a few copies of the discharge papers, along with copies of correspondence by him and his wife.
