There was a discussion on the topic of the 5/60th Foot in January 2006.

Go to Archive for 2006 and under Messages containing, search on Kemmis.

The discussion is under the heading of 5/60th (not) at Albuera.

5/60th Foot:

4. 3 coys to Hill's Division, 2 coys to Sherbrooke's Division (1 coy to Guards Brigade, 1 coy to Cameron's Brigade), 2 coys to 4th Division (1 coy to Cole's Brigade commanded by Kemmis, 1 coy to A. Campbell's Brigade), 3 coys and HQ to Picton's 3rd Division.

In January 1812, the army list has 1 lieutenant colonel, 2 majors and 12 captains.

The detached companies to the 4th and 5th Divisions remained with those divisions as they are shown in those Divisions at Salamanca.

According to the Challis list, Captain Friedrich von Wackholtz was attached to the 4th Division from 10 December 1810 and was at Albuera.
