Crimea Medal List

[mikkimac]

Message for ' Lime ' - I have a 3573 Sgt C O ( or C C ) CALLAG(H)AN listed as receiving the Crimea Medal.  Sadly I do not have a Regiment for him.  Would this be okay to post for you?  I know a Regiment will make it easier.  I would like to know if he has any bar/clasps to this medal and the Regiment he was in please?

Many thanks

There is an entry for a Staff Sergeant Charles Callaghan of the Medical Corps. The middle initial has been indexed by Ancestry as C, but it could be O.

If you have an Ancestry account try - http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=1686&iid=31794_221403-00238&fn=Charles+C&ln=Callaghan&st=d&ssrc=&pid=433944

There is no regimental number. I think this entry is in the section for Alma and Inkerman. You will have to press PREVIOUS a few times to confirm. The Sebastopol section is further on. 

It may be easier to look for a service record on Findmypast.

Hi Ken, futher to research, I have found that this guy id Charles O'CALLAGHAN and not as I mentioned earlier.  I have found him however but am wondering if you or anyone has a copy of the **CWRS Special Publication 6**, which lists those of the Crimea War who were awarded the French Military Medal, aparently there were 400 soldiers.
I think my man also has clasps for Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol.
Regards and thanks, Mikkimac
