Pte. S Uswin - 1st Batallion 5th Northumberland Fusiliers

Hi,

I have a medal from the second Afghan War of 1878 which belongs to Private S Uswin and would love to find out more information about him and the batallion's record in this particular war. Anyone able to help? My email is -redacted-. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.118.8 (talk) 11:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

This page is really supposed to eb for discussing improvements to the article. However, your best hope for more information on Unwin himself would be to see if his service record is held by The National Archives, see http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/militaryhistory/army/step4.htm for some info on gettign started. For info on the abttalion, there's almost certainly a regimental history, published accounts of the Second Afghan War would also be a good place to start.

The second Afghan war medal roll for this regiment should contain additional information about his service in the Second Anglo-Afghan War Kernel Saunters (talk) 15:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I know that the page is for discussion on improvements, but given that those discussing improvements have to have knowledge of the regiment I thought there might be some pertinent information - and there way. Thanks again for your help!

Signalling incorrect link on RNFusiliers page

Dear readers, editors and administrators

I am researching my great uncle who served with the NF in Salonika in 1915-1916. Please note that the link to "Balkans Campaign" under 2nd Battalion, between "Battle of Loos" and "Battle of Doiran", creates a link to the a page concerning hostilities and actions in WWII ... This is clearly an error, the correct link is missing.

I don't know how to proceed from here, and am reluctant to remove this without having something to suggest in its place???

Dear Mr. Sweeney Thank you for replacing the link, and so speedily too. Well done. Nice to see that some people are on the ball.

Northumberland Fusiliers

The Fifth (Northumberland) Regiment were granted the distinction of being a Fusilier regiment in 1836, becoming thereafter the 5th Regiment of Foot (Northumberland Fusiliers). The latter was the title adopted in 1881 when regimental numbers were abolished.JF42 (talk) 17:08, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Dr. John Watson

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but Dr. John Watson (fictional doctor associated with Sherlock Holmes), was "duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon."

Does this belong in this article? Thank you! Crusherdave (talk) 14:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Aden 1967?

There ought to be some mention of their involvement in the Aden Emergency, just before the evacuation of the colony. Valetude (talk) 10:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
