18.7.1796 Weybourn camp officers Blomfield

There were two officers in the Royal Artillery at the time, Thomas Blomefield DNB 1744-1822 Lt Col 5.12.1793, Col 26.1.1797 and Benjamin Bloomfield Captain 9.9.1794 will PCC 1846 Rt Hon Benjamin Baron Bloomfield. Since the camp was small and temporary and Major Judson was its commander (see Judgson, Thomas) Capt Benjamin B was perhaps more likely to have been the one Godwin met
