98th Regiment of Foot

Hello

I am trying to find any information on this regiment, in particular a James Scott who came out from England/Scotland with this regiment. He later retired and remained in Cape Town

Notes on this Regiment "In December 1824 the new regiment was posted to South Africa where for all bar two years of its 13-year tour it was based in Cape Town, the other two years being in Grahamstown. During the entire tour no active service was seen. Returning to England in 1837 the regiment was based for two years in Newcastle upon Tyne."

Many thanks

Sheldon Scott
