Refer to the separate document, in the Media Gallery, written by Bob Argus, "Private Nicholas Argus" for a full account of his service.
Sue Lawson (nee Argus) found an enlistment for Nicholas Argus from the National Archives UK.

It also appears he went to Bodmin Jail in 1843.the listing is under Nicholas Argust but is definitely him. I think it was for debt.
