    3. Hello listers, all soldiers of Napoleonic wars who were still alive in 1857 were given the "Medaille de Ste Helene" by Napoleon the IIIrd. See: <http://www.stehelene.org >, then "recherche" or "recherche avancee".

    3. Thank you for this informatin Etienne. I went to the site, but my ancestor's surname gave no results. I do know from family history that Jacob Schirck of Muttersholtz, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France fought for Napoleon I as a cook in his army. However, Jacob and his family emigrated to America in 1834. Did only those who were still in France receive the medal? Thank you!
