Coldstreamer Posted 5 September , 2005 Share Posted 5 September , 2005 Hello Just looking at the (sparse) award of the LSGC to the Coldstream Gds and its seems 1917 was a bumber year for the award. Does war service count extra ? I didnt think it did but a friend thought it might. It was 18 years after the Boer war which might explain some of it - 1915 only had 3 awards and 1917 had nearly 40 or so. Cheers all Ian And why am i now an old sweat over night ??

And why am i now an old sweat over night ?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> War Service only counted Double for Territorial Troops, Regulars [eg: Your Guards] had to do the Time!,I suspect your theory Re the South African War is more likely ,a lot of Old Sweats had just about completed their years by WW1 & got it in the intervening War Years. Congrats on becoming an Overnight "Sweat" must be he Cambridgeshire Climate..........all those Hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 5 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 5 September , 2005 Hello I thought as much - my friend has a lot of territorial medals and that would explain the confusion Ian It was hot in the 'boro last night !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
