NRS-4210 | Copies of letters received by George Lambrick, Acting Pay and Quarter Master

Full description

Pages 1-41. The Letterbook contains copies of letters received by Lambrick, dealing mainly with stores and accounts. The earliest ones are addressed to him in Britain before he left for Port Essington and relate to his transport and provisioning etc., and the later ones (he left Port Essington about March 1850) are concerned with getting his accounts in order. The correspondence is not all addressed to him but presumably was passed on to him due to its subject matter.

Lambrick was sent to the British island of Ascension in 1855 and included in the volume are clothing returns of the various divisions of the Royal Marines stationed there, and copies of regulations relating to good conduct awards, loading of guns etc.
