I have been attempting to find out more about Sergeant George Sim of the 78th Highlanders, who was in the second Afghan War. I believe his number is 1464, as it is engraved on the side of his campaign medal. He was in Halifax Nova Scotia from 1869-1871; he married Caroline Gardner in 1871 and left Halifax. I think their children were born in Ireland, Dover, England and Poonah, India. He is said to have died of sunstroke in Afghanistan. I would like to know more about when and where he died, and his movements with the regiment. It is somewhat shocking to think that his wife moved around with him, but it clear that she did. She eventually returned to Halifax with her children, although some seem to have returned later than she did.
If anyone can direct me to a good source, or has any information, I would be very grateful. Unfortunately I do not live in the UK so I can't hand-search any archives; I have to rely on the Internet for now.
Hi there Cathibea I am wondering if you are able to see this post or if you can reply back to me?
I am thinking you might be a realative to the Sim Clan?
Is there a way we can exchange emails just to see, would like to know what else you know about the Sim's?
