Queen's Westminster Volunteers was my first thought when I saw your first post - BUT - Thoughts are just that, until proved by great research such as you have undertaken. Yet again the mantra 'Research, Research and more Research' rings true!
Thanks for sharing
If you have an interest in The London Regiment have you seen Bosleys latest?

Just goes to show what can be found in old books. I always found the 'Gentleman's Gazette' full of unknown or forgotten facts.
