    1. Hallo, The Major Govone and the Lieutenant Landriani charged with the Light Brigade at Balaklava, they were military observers attached to the french staff in Crimea before the Sardinian intervention (T. Brighton, Hell Riders). Really, the portrait of (later) General Govone shows a British Crimea Medal with three clasps. Could we understand that the troops remained in the Turkey only have received the Sardinian Medal while the troops that have taken part to the combats in Crimea have received the British one? Regards Montenotte
    2. ...and here is the complete order of battle of the Sardinian Expedition Corps in Crimea http://digilander.li...corpocrimea.htm
    3. Hello, does anyone have the book of H. Gillingham Italian Orders of Chivalry and Medals of Honour? May be we can find some answers to the questions about the Sardinian Crimea. About the Turkish Crimea Medal an interesting link http://www.spink.com...hayward/jh7.asp Regards Montenotte
    4. Hello, indeed the 1st Regiment Infantry belonged to the Brigata Savoia (Savoy Brigade) that was commanded by Major General Comte Humbert Jaillet de Saint-Cergues. Regards Montenotte
    5. Hello, the Sardinian expedition corps started from Genoa on April 25. 1855 arriving in Crimea on May 14., also the Piedmonteses troops didn't have taken part in the combat of Alma and Balaklava. They combat successfully in the battle of Tchernaja River (16.08.1855) and at the Traktir bridge (06.09.1855). Following Brambilla there are no clasps on English Crimean Medals awarded to the Sardinian troops. Regards
    6. Hallo, this is my first post, so I apologize for my English (horrendous as my teacher said). The first ribbon is a Long Command awards (silver star=15 years) , the second, I think, Order of Merit of Sovereign Order of Malta Military Class. Regards. Montenotte
