NRS-4211 | Copies of letters sent by George Lambrick, Acting Pay and Quarter Master

The letters are concerned chiefly with the provision of stores and clothing and accounting for the same. The earliest ones are written in England and Dublin before the detachment under his command sailed on the "Cadet" for the settlement and relate to the various arrangements necessary. Included are muster rolls of the various divisions proceeding to the colony. The ones dated after he left Port Essington (ie. from March 1850) are concerned with getting his accounts into order. By 1855 he had been appointed to Ascension and later material in the volume relates to his time there, including a list of Royal Marines serving there between April 1855-June 1857, copies of various regulations and accounts etc. (5/4784; microfilm copy SR Reel 2867). 1 vol.
