  • Ireland: Military History
    Captain Rowland John Chute (or John Rowland Chute) was identified in The County Families of the United Kingdom as "formerly Captain 58th Foot". The 58th Regiment of Foot (Rutlandshire Regiment of Foot), part of the Royal Anglian Regiment, has a long history of service and was utilized in many of Britain's colonies as well: the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland, and India. This entry did not specify the period of time Rowland Chute served as a Captain in the 58th Foot, so until records identifying his specific time and nature of service are found, it is impossible to provide a military history of his involvement.

    There are some resources available:

    The regimental website, which unfortunately does not appear to have been updated since 2000:
