Coldstreamer Posted 15 August , 2015 Share Posted 15 August , 2015 100 years on - this was the man I suspect ran the show, the RSM of the 4th Btn Coldstream Guards and a group of medals I am not only proud to own but also one I reunited as split into 3 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Clifton Posted 15 August , 2015 Share Posted 15 August , 2015 Sorry to be picky, but it looks as if he has a captain's pips on his shoulder, and that doesn't look like a Coldstream cap badge. Was he commissioned later? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 15 August , 2015 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2015 and I have noticed that his victory / BWM are in the wrong places - the coronation at the front wasnt uncommon at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tullybrone Posted 16 August , 2015 Share Posted 16 August , 2015 Hi Ian, Just for completeness - am I correct in saying it is RSM Corner pictured? His replacement was RSM Ellis - per Blacker's book. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
