bernardmcilwaine Posted 22 May , 2005 Share Posted 22 May , 2005 I'm prepared to be corrected, but I would assume that as the 5th Coldstream never went overseas, they wouldn't have a War Diary. Your Great Uncle must have been insomething else, and posted to the 5th bn prior to discharge - it was a training and holding unit sending drafts to overseas battalions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> steve you are spot on,the 5th never left windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 23 May , 2005 Share Posted 23 May , 2005 Chris Dont you mean MIC (medal index card) ?? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 23 May , 2005 Share Posted 23 May , 2005 I think Chris is referring to it as the SWB card, because there is another MIC with his Service Medals on it (hence no stamp grid on the copy above). Just differentiating the two... Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.wight Posted 1 June , 2005 Share Posted 1 June , 2005 Ian, sorry for the late reply, Steve is correct. Here is the Medal Index Card which felsan has asked me to post for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.wight Posted 1 June , 2005 Share Posted 1 June , 2005 Am I correct in saying L/Cpl. King did not receive the clasp for the 1914 Star? Doesn't it have noted on the card "Clasp & Rosette" when the individual applied for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per ardua per mare per terram Posted 2 June , 2005 Share Posted 2 June , 2005 Probably, but the medal roll is the definitive source, so you still need to check that. Am I correct in saying L/Cpl.
