Hi Martin Visit www.nationalarchives.gov.uk and search under the military records. My own gggrandfather was in the 45th regiment, headquarters in Nottingham, which told me that all military records are centralised at Kew. If you can't get to London yourself, you'll need to appoint a private researcher to find and copy the records for you -- I did this myself several years ago, had a computer crash since then so unfortunately lost the email address of the fellow I used. I think the website does list a few names though. You could also Google "57th West Middlesex Regiment Crimea" for background on the regiment itself -- about 3,460 sites came up. Good luck Maureen On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 8:11 PM, <Martin.忽帕@nohere.net> wrote: > Hi > Apparently my gg-gradfather served with the 57th regiment around > 1854/55 gaining 2 silver medals in the crimean war with 3 bars > Sebastopol, Inkermann and Balaklava > He was corporal no. 1418 James McClees > > Anyone know how to find the 57th reg, archives site please? > -- > Martin > ©¿©¬ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > GENIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >
