Crimea War Medal Role lookup

[Sherilla63]

Hello,

I'm really hoping that you might be able to help me. I have found a British Army service record for my  2x Great Grandfather John Norman who appears to have served in the Crimea War. He was born in 1836 in Halstead Essex and joined the Scots Guards (I think they were known as the Scots Fusilier Guards) when he was 18 in 1854. His service number is shown as 5122. He served in Crimea from 13 April 1855 to 4 July 1856 and the record shows that he distinguished himself at the Siege of Sevastopol.

He was awarded a pension according to his service record of 9d in 1909.

I would like to know if he shows on any medal roll for this campaign as I have not been able to find any medal roles for Crimea in my searches.

Any other information about him would also be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Sherry Davis

Thank you so much for this, you got back to me so quickly. I'd been searching for these for ages, guess I was looking in the wrong place.

Hi, it's me again, having looked at both records that you have sent me I've become a little confused. One record shows John in the 1st Btn Scots Fusilier Guards while another shows him in the 1st Btn Coldstream Guards, its the same regimental number so it's the same man, but why does it show two different regiments?

Any help to explain this would be appreciated.

Regards
Sherry

Probably a mistranscription by Ancestry. I'll take a look later.

Yes it's a mistranscription. Here is the beginning of that medal roll at image 318:
