Robert William D’Olier saw service as a Private (not Paymaster Serjeant) with the 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot and would serve in India during the Indian Mutiny where he would take part in the campaign in Central India. There is no evidence he was ever a Pay Master Serjeant, thus this appears to have been a self-awarded rank.
