HI all,, am new to this, but during my Family tree research I found a relative that died at Kandahar 1879 oct 10th I think,,,,not sure what regiment he was in ,, Name is Charles Placeham,, born 1851 st george hanover square , ? 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
