Good Morning Gentlemen, I was recently delving into my example of the British Crimean War Campaign Medal, which is somewhat unusual as that it's named to a Sergeant of the 2nd Regiment, Sardinian Grenadiers.

MY PARTICULAR EXAMPLE READS; "MARTo PASTORE, SERe DEL 2o GRANi DI SARDa". This apparently Translates to: "SGT. MARTINO PASTORE, 2ND GRENADIERS OF SARDINIA".

Note that there were 2 Battalions of Grenadiers within the 1st Sardinian Brigade, which was reported to have been held in Reserve. I am not certain as to how much combat this particular Brigade experienced ?

However, my Post here is to share a brief bit of Reference I've recently come across, pertaining to the above noted Medal. Hopefully, everyone should be able to access the below LINK. Also note that although the whole Chapter concerns 'Italians in the Crimean War', the pages regarding the Sardinian Expeditionary Force are covered between Pages 181 ~ 187. If this hasn't already been Posted here, then perhaps someone here may find the information useful, or at the least, interesting ?
