    1. Hello Marco, Thanks again for your help. The lieutenant general which I'm looking for is born about 1812, according to the England 1891 England Census (where his name is Gordon Caulfield): https://www.geneanet.org/rootspoint/view/rootspointp1891uk/RG12_0516_0112 At that time he was retired... Can that be enough to identify this commissioned officer? Best regards, Laurent
    2. Hello Marco, Thank you very much for this very complete answer! For the second commissioned officer, there is a mistake in my first message (sorry): I look for the service records of the Lieutenant General James Gordon Caulfeild. Best regards, Laurent
    3. Hello, Searches led me to identify two possible commissioned officers: 1) lieutenant colonel John Sheffield Gilbert Ryley; 2) And the lieutenant general Gordon Caulfield. Is it possible to have easily access to their service records? Thank very much for your help. Best regards, Laurent
    4. Hello, I’m conducting a particular research about a British commissioned officer who would have served in India in the second half of 19th century, who would have reached a rank of senior officer (at least), and whose nickname would have been "Great Coffin". That’s all I know (these informations come from family memory on my wife's side)... On the off chance, could you please help me, or orient me to find the exact identity of this officer (assuming he existed)? Thank you very much. Best regards, Laurent (from France).
    5. Hello, For an optimal conservation of my collection, I look for individual polypropylene pockets for medals (archival quality)... Could you please indicate me where to find them? Thank you very much. Best regards, Laurent (from France)
    6. Hello, Does a brevet exist for this medal during the WWI, like for the Greek War Cross? Thank you very much for the answer. Best regards, Laurent.
    7. Hello, Could you please help me and say me what is the class of this diploma awarded to a major of the French artillery (future general)? Thank you very much for the answers! Best regards, Laurent.
