The roll confirms clasp entitlement to 2375 Private William Fishwick. The muster rolls give the alternative spelling 'Fhiswick', and indicate that he joined his regiment at Umballa, 12/03/1844, and that though he spent a certain amount of time sick in hospital, he was on duty for the period of the conflict.
