Joseph Cormick was born at Durley, Gloucestershire in 1790 and was a labourer upon his enlistment in London in Apri 1805, aged 15. Embarked in February 1808, he was present for the action at Martinique and remained on the island until 1813, when the Regiment sailed for Canada. Cormick served in St. John's and the Isle de Noix before returning home in June 1815, having spent some 7 years away - with a good deal of his service having been with the Regimental Band. Discharged in October 1820 on account of a 'broken constitution', Cormick settled in Canada, with his Medal being claimed from the Colonial List (Claim No. 30), the recipient living at Niagara; sold with copied research and roll extracts.
