William Hamill was agent and trust for the officers and soldiers at the garrisons of Londonderry and Enniskilling in Ireland. He published a memorial ‘Officers and Soldiers for their service in Ireland in the late Revolution‘ in 1714 and ‘A view of the Danger and Folly of Being Publick-Spirited and Sincerely Loving One’s Country…‘ in 1721 campaigning for pay that had not been paid to the soldiers since the revolution in Ireland.
