Thanks for the Info Garen,,, Information I got regarding Death Of Charles Placeham was fron one of the family history sites, ( ancestry.com ,, there Military site, which I cant access for some reason ),,,, This would be the Only Charles Placeham,, very few with that surname or any variation at all ( I was the last ),,,, On his Birth certificate his Name was Placsom ( 1852 ).,, this conflict makes for very interesting reading as previously I was studying the American Civil War,,,I will try to find out more regarding the information I found and come back to you,,, Thanks once again Appreciated,, Barrie

I have his enlistment details but cant find any further info,,service number was 1809 ( 1871 ) 2nd battalian Northumberland regt of foot, ( private 5th fusiliers ) The archives record which I cant trace is WO12/2374,, I would just like to know in detail where he fell,, and if he was actually awarded this Kandahar medal or some such ? ,,,,, if he wasnt can this still be claimed by a decendant,, ( wouldnt be me as Charles was from another branch of my family ) any help would be appreciated,, thanks,,, barrie
