National ArchivesOutstanding soldiers of the Northamptonshire Regiment (1881-1901)
Each year the best soldiers of the regiment were chosen for long service and good conduct medals. This register gives rank, name, regimental number, and date of recommendation. (The sample scan is from the East Surrey regiment). The register is essentially a register of recommendations, annotated with details of the issue of the medals. Where no gratuity accompanied the medal, the entry is marked 'W. G.' (without gratuity); where, for one reason or another, the medal was not issued, the entry is marked 'N. S.' (not sanctioned) and struck through. The regiment was based on the 48th Regimental District - Northampton. The 1st battalion returned from India to Ireland in 1880; was moved to England in 1885, and was based at Preston. It embarked for India 5 October 1892 and by 1895 was serving at Bangalore. The battalion fought in the North West Frontier campaign of 1897 to 1898. The 2nd battalion embarked for Natal 24 February 1879, and was based at the Cape of Good Hope by 1885. It took part in the Zulu and Boer wars, adding "South Africa, 1879" to the regimental honours. From there the battalion was sent to Hong Kong in 1885, and on to Singapore in 1888. It returned from Singapore to England 26 December 1892, and in 1895 was at Colchester. After having been on the Channel Islands from 1895 to 1897, the battalion was sent out from England to South Africa in 1899, gaining the honours "South Africa, 1899-1902" and "Modder River".
