Coldstreamer Posted 14 March , 2016 Share Posted 14 March , 2016 Hello, my annual trip to coldstream archives in London is planned for next month.

TTracer44 Posted 15 March , 2016 Share Posted 15 March , 2016 Hello Coldstreamer I have a CG man by the name of Sydney William Druce that I would love to have the Service Record of, his service number is 9428' this I got from his Medal card on {A} there is some confusion on the card as it also names a S W Bruce but the address is correct as I have spoken to his Granddaughter and she used to visit two old aunts at Easenhall near Rugby.

Coldstreamer Posted 15 March , 2016 Author Share Posted 15 March , 2016 To clarify, it's only coldstream papers I can get. Each guards regiment has its files in different rooms. I only have access to the coldstream archives as the rooms are locked unless some one us working there, and as soldiers work the archives they are often away training .

clive_hughes Posted 17 March , 2016 Share Posted 17 March , 2016 Coldstreamer, The only two Coldstream men within the scope of my casualties project were officers, so they wouldn't be represented in the file series. If you do happen to know anyone else who would undertake a similar task for the other Guards regiments please let me know! Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 17 March , 2016 Author Share Posted 17 March , 2016 I can get officers papers so long as the library isn't being used, they are kept separate from or's. I don't know about the others sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
