There are two references, that I have found so far, at AOT for
Military Pensioners.
1. CSD 1/144/3994 - So far, looking through this microfilm I have
found correspondence re grants of land for the Pensioners, reference
to some coming as guards on convict ships and a couple of ships lists
of Pensioners.
2. LSD Vol 54 p469 - I haven't looked at this one yet.

The Westbury Historical Society may have some information. You can
write to them at:
Miss G Scott
Research Officer
Westbury Historical Society
64 Bass Highway
Hagley
Tasmania 7292
Ph: 03-6392 2222

If anyone else knows where to find more information on the Military
Pensioners please let the list know as there are quite a few
interested in this topic.
