We demonstrate how the asymptotics for large |z| of the generalised Bessel function 0Ψ1(z)=∑n=0^∞(zn)/(Γ(an+b) n!), where a>-1 and b is any number (real or complex), may be obtained by exploiting the well-established asymptotic theory of the generalised Wright function pΨq(z). A summary of this theory is given and an algorithm for determining the coefficients in the associated exponential expansions is discussed in an appendix. We pay particular attention to the case a=-1/2, where the expansion for z→±∞ consists of an exponentially small contribution that undergoes a Stokes phenomenon. We also examine the different nature of the asymptotic expansions as a function of arg z when -1
