 Outstanding soldiers of the Coldstream Guards
(1860-1870)
The Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards was in two battalions. The 1st battalion returned from the Crimea in 1858. The second battalion returned from Canada in 1842. 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)TUCKER.
