Armed Forces / Crimean War - Kings Royal Hussars - HELP!
« on: Wednesday 09 February 11 20:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I don't know if this is a total long shot, but can anyone help? I've been given two names of soldiers who served with the KRH in the crimean war, I have been asked to try and find out about the history behind them, but they have so very little info for me to work with.
This is what I have:
Pte H Heathcock - 11th Hussars
He was awarded a clasp on the 11th November 1856 for the siege of Sebastopol between 1st Oct 1854 - 9 Sept 1855, he received the medal for the Crimean War (date unknown) along with clasps for the "Battle of Balaclava" and "Alma"
Farrier J Barber
On serving with the 11th Hussars, he was awarded a medal for the Crimean war along with a Clasp on the 20th Sept 1854. He was also awarded a clasp for the siege of Sebastopol between 1st Oct 1854 - 9 Sept 1855.
On the 25th Oct he received a clasp "Battle of Balaclava"
This is all I have and have no idea where to look next, any help or direction would be so very much appreciated.
Many thanks!
