A Crimea Group of Three to Captain H. Vaughan of the 68th Regiment, Crimea Medal, four clasps, Alma, Balaklava, Inkermann, Sebastopol (Captn. H. Vaughan. 68th Regt.) Regimentally impressed, Order of the Medjidie, 5th Class breast badge, later suspender, Turkish Crimea Medal, Crimea (British Issue), un-named as issued. The 68th of Foot (Durham Light Infantry). On the night of the 14th of November 1854, a hurricane struck the Allied armies besieging Sebastopol, tents, stores and the shipping in Balaklava harbour were whirled away to destruction. Col. Henry Smyth, commanding the 68th Durham Light Infantry wrote in his dairy: "Such a sense of confusion. Caps flying away and in the middle of the storm the big drum of some other regiment came rolling through our lines, it was impossible to stop it`, during that winter and the two that followed, the Durhams fought, froze and died of cholera in their Crimean trenches. The 68th sailed from Malta for the Crimea in September 1854 on board the Cunarder S.S. Cambria, it was: ...in the highest state of discipline and in excellent order. The regiment embarked 872 strong, including 29 officers and staff but before it ever landed in the Crimea four of its number were already dead of cholera. The first few months saw little action for the men of the Durhams, this was to change on the 5th of November, The Russian army flung itself against the weakest sector of the Allied lines, near Inkerman Two companies of the 68th had just returned from the trenches and two others were on their way to relieve them, these four companies together with an equivalent force of the 20th and two of the 46th Regiments were rushed up the line The morning was cold and damp and the 68th wore their greatcoats as they marched forward, as one of their officers commented in 1870 The 68th at guard-mounting used to wear the greatcoat over accoutrements, and this was the manner in which the 68th marched down to the great fight on the morning of Inkerman; of course, it was soon found necessary to halt the regiment in order that the men might throw off their greatcoats to get more easily at their ammunition on the field of battle. So the Durham`s and the Durham`s alone, fought in red on Inkerman day, a distinction jealously prized by regimental tradition By now the British Guards and Russian Infantry were locked in a savage hand to hand struggle for the Sandbag Battery, on the edge of the plateau commanding Sepastopol. The point had already changed hands several times when a Russian relief column, three battalions of the Selinghinsk regiment, attempted an attack on the Guards flank, "a dark mass of long brown and grey coats, flat caps and blue steel` was how Captain Torrens of the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers saw them. The Divisional Commander, Lt. Gen Sir George Cathcart, directing operations, rode to the head of the 68th and 46th and ordered them to charge the Selinghinsk. Down the hillside, through the scrub, dashed the British troops, the impetus and ferocity of the charge exploded into the Russian ranks and hurled them in head-long flight into a ravine below, outnumbered six to one the British had swept the Selinghinsk from the field During the action, the Russian Yakutsk Regiment had been clambering unobserved up the nearby Quarry Ravine and now they joined the fray, pouring a withering fire on the rout below, the 68th in their red coats were already a mark for every Russian gun in the vicinity, "our ranks were fearfully ploughed wrote Lt. Battiscombe. Gen. Cathcart and several of his staff were struck down in an instant, his last words were "well done, 68th`, and the regiment retired under covering fire from a French battalion. 243 Durham`s fought at Inkerman, 69 were killed, wounded or captured, among them Brevet Lt. Col. Harry Smyth At the end of the campaign Cholera had claimed more Durham`s lives than the enemy ever did, 45 soldiers died in battle, disease killed 243, in the first quarter of 1855, 119 perished through illness and that January 327 went sick, at the end of the month onlt 150 men were fit for trench duty Nearly all the older officer`s had seen service in the Crimea, wrote a respectful young subaltern who joined the 68th after the campaign was over, the majority of them were splendid fellows, that long siege had been a wonderful school for forming of manly characters. Their hair was not cut short, as in the present day, but was worn long over the ears, and they had large fuzzy whiskers with moustaches that went straight into them, they smoked much and some of them drank a good deal, but they carried their liquor well Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports

By the time the 1st Battalion The Welch Regiment arrived in South Africa, Lord Roberts had been appointed commander of forces, their first object along with others, was to relieve Kimberly. Having managed to cut off the Boer main force after their retreat, the 1st Battalion faced Cronje and the rest of his army at Paardeberg, and on the 18th February 1900 the battle began, the 1st were heavily engaged and received special mention for a gallant charge, by the 27th of that month, Cronje and his men surrendered, the British advance continued on to Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State On the 10th March a strong force of Boers barred the way at Driefontein, posted on the heights, the 1st Battalion were ordered to storm these positions, whilst the Yorkshires and the Essex moved on either flank. The ground was bare and offered little cover, the advance was made fifty yards at a time under heavy fire, two other battalions were thrown into the fight, and eventually the whole line fixed bayonets and charged. This action cost the lives of 140 men including the Adjutant, Captain Lomax, who had behaved with the greatest gallantry. The advance continued, both Bloemfontein and Pretoria were captured mainly unopposed with little fighting, although the battalion were once again engaged at the action of Diamond Hill, garrison duties followed, until peace was declared in 1902 The battalion were awarded two Companions of the Bath, six Distinguished Service Orders and twelve Distinguished Conduct Medals.
