Coldstreamer Posted 30 January , 2005 Share Posted 30 January , 2005 Hello I seem to recall that India was one of the few places that the Coldstream Gds have not been sent to. At the NA yesterday, I found 3 mic's for LSGC awarded in 1938 and posted out to the 3rd Btn in India. Can any one confirm if they did or didnt go ..

HERITAGE PLUS Posted 21 September , 2005 Share Posted 21 September , 2005 During his career Lieut. General Sir Oilver Leese was Adjutant of 3 Coldstreams 1920-22 and Commanded 1 Coldstreams 1936-38. From 1938-40 he was Chief Instructor (GSO1) at The Staff College Quetta. Is it possible that he selected Coldstreamers as PSIs for the College? Just a thought.

Frajohn Posted 21 September , 2005 Share Posted 21 September , 2005 Ian I can see no trace of the 3rd Battalion serving in India (nor of the other two battalions) The 3rd moved to Palestine during October 1936 and stayed three months. November 1937 they again returned to the region as part of the canal brigade. They were due to be replaced by the 2nd Battalion in 1939, which was all changed by the start of WWII. The 3rd Battlion stayed until 1940 when they moved to the western desert. Sorry couldn't give you any explanation for the mics regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 22 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Hello Thanks for the thoughts Very odd- could have been odd men but the Guards seem to have so few LSGC its not likely - unless they where instructors...? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
