"The Services: Death of a Crimean Veteran," Inverness Courier, April 7, 1899, p. 3b.   David Mylie, c. 72, a former 72nd Highlander who served in Crimea, died recently in Perth, after a long illness. A native of Balmaghie, Kircudbrightshire, Mylie was 17 when he enlisted in the 72nd in 1844. He was stationed with the regiment in Gibraltar, the West Indies and Halifax, N.S. "Mr Mylie passed through the Crimean War, being present at the battle of Tchernaya and at the capture of the Redan, gaining for his services the Turkish Crimean medal, the Sebastopol medal, and two clasps [sic]." Next, he was dispatched to India where his regiment, under Sir Hugh Rose, helped to quell the Indian mutiny. He returned home with the regiment, now the 1st Btn., Seaforth Highlanders, when it was stationed to Edinburgh in 1866. He was discharged in 1867 as a full sergeant, after more than 22 years service. He finished his life as a "highly esteemed servant in the employment of Messrs Pullar & Sons, Perth."
