    hi
    have a look at this : https://www.electricscotland.com/hist...00grearich.pdf

    its a history of the 79th foot also called THE QUEENS OWN CAMERON HIGHLANDERS. (Cameronian Volunteers) .
    Also try https://www.napoleon-series.org/milit..._79thFoot.html , this list's commanders etc ,

    hopefully point you in the right direction ,
