George Bubb was born at Gloucester in 1822 and was a groom by trade upon his enlistment into the 9th Lancers at London in June 1843. Having shared in all the famous acts of the legendary unit in some 15 years and 3 months in Bengal & East Indies, in a career that spanned nearly 25 years he was only once entered into the Defaulters' Book and never tried by General Court Martial. Finally made Troop Sergeant-Major, the trusty Bubb was discharged in March 1868; sold together with copied Service Record.
