Following a soldiers death a widow was not entitled to the protection of the Regiment and no provision was made for their support. Their sons, Robert and Benjamin probably attended schools set up for children of the Regiments. It maybe the soldiers had their own code of honour towards wives of fallen comrades and ensured support by remarrying.
