Micheal,
Well written.
Most medal collectors I know take great pride in researching the recipient of the medal. One collector I know has more information on mebers of a Regiment than the Regiment itself. They even contact him when they need information. I really doubt that the War Museum cares...
The Guards wear a different pattern to line infantry so it wont do much good.
Dress regs (A-AD-265-000/AG-001 Annex B para 25) say for the FMR: Fusiliers. White plume white facings; "flechee" officer waist sash.
I can fax these to you, also with the illistrations if you need them.
There wasnt a lot of differences on ORs/NCOs uniforms. Around 1900 RSMs and a few CQMS would have gold braid on their tunics and they would have been a better quality but later on they did not have the gold lace. Officers did have differing quantities of lace/trefoil but in 1902 that was also...
I have the Dress Regs at home and I will bring it in tommorow, I also have older Dress Regs and will check out what the FMR wore in the past. I collect pre WW1 uniforms and I have tons of info on them. I will get back to you asap.
The CLS also has coins and gives them out all the time. i dont know how long they have been around but I will ask. I will pull one out and get some pictures.
Its from the 50s 60s, most likely 60s as it doesn't have any war medals. It looks real but its hard to tell from the photos. You you have any names associated to it?
