National ArchivesOutstanding soldiers of the 64th regiment of Foot (1860-1870)
The 64th (The 2nd Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot embarked for Bombay in January 1849; took part in the Persian war of 1856, the battles of Reshire, Booshire and Khooshab, and the suppression of the Indian Mutiny, with the relief of Lucknow. It returned to England in 1861: the regimental depot was at Canterbury. In 1865 the regiment was sent to Ireland, and in 1867 to Malta. Each year just a handful of outstanding soldiers of the regiment were chosen for good conduct medals and gratuities: these are listed here. There were two lists, one for men recommended for the Good Conduct Medal without a gratuity, and one for gratuities - £5 to a private, £10 to a corporal, and £15 to a serjeant. Both lists are indexed here, and each gives rank, name, regimental number, date of recommendation and date of issue. (The sample scan is from the 105th foot)
