This roll is so far incomplete that the nationalities of all the men are not given, but among those that are there are 28 Englishmen and 24 Irishmen. Of the former only seven hailed from Derby. Nine men had only been enlisted that year — 1855 — while the oldest soldier was apparently Pte. Thomas Boyd, whose date of enlistment was March 26th, 1837.

A reference to rolls of wounded, to be found elsewhere, shows that some of the men whose names occur on this roll had already been wounded.
