(worn in Egypt c.1800), 3rd Scots Guards (c.1780), 55th Aberdeenshire, North British Militia (c.1805), 19th North Yorkshire Foot (c.1790), 35th Sussex Foot (two, c.1770 and c.1780, no shanks). N.B. Many of the prison hulks, former warships, were broken up in this stretch of the Thames which may account for the unusual mix of military buttons recovered.
