Answer to your original question is probably both. In the 1890's one of my grandfathers brothers served in the Monmouthshire Engineers Militia. He was Soudley so the Regiment probably had a company or more in FoD. The Regiment numbered 3,000 plus!!!

My greatgrandfather became of military age about 1808. I've trawled all the local militia regiments etc. but without success. There was the Corps of Sappers and Miners, officers Royal Engineers. That's all PRO, Kew. Not done that yet.
