Wondering if there are any other Canadian members of this forum with an ancestor who rode in The Charge? Would like to hear from them.

My GGG Uncle was:

KEENAN [Private William] Regt. No. 1426
4th Queen’s Own Light Dragoons
born c. 1831
Enlisted: 1849
Slightly wounded in The Charge
To Scutari: 26 Oct 1854
To England: early in 1855
Medal: Crimea (A.B.S.)
Appeared before Queen Victoria at Brompton Barracks 3rd March 1855 with "Fracture of Right Leg, For Discharge."

Sorry, no Canadian ancestors, but wonder if you can look for a member of the Crimea named John Henry Dodsworth from Durham County, England, b. about 1835. I'm having a hard time finding his regiment number. Would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks. Kilian
