sorry, as in finding info on the soldier, I realize its Canadian General Service medal

Ensign Robert Gardner
6th Battalion Hochelaga Light Infantry

As an Ensign he served May 1 - July 15 at Cornwall in 1866

As a Captain he served May 24 - June 2 at St. Johns and Pigeon Hill  1870

Both bars are confirmed.

ah thank you, I was assuming HLI stood for another regiment

thank you for the other info, what reference are looking at for this please, just for future



welcome too btw

I own a microfilm copy of the original rolls for this medal.  But I am sure there is a publication somewhere for this medal.  I just scrolled until I found the 6th HLI and started from there.  It took me 20ish minuets.

that's handy to have and greatly appreciate the info, whats your collecting field? I guess apart from medals, if there is anything you are looking for please let me know in case I come across anything of interest

Cheers

John

I am always on the look out for anything connected to Oxford County Ontario (Woodstock, Ingersoll, Tillsonburg etc.) especially

Men who enlisted in the 168th CEF. Medals, I have some but always looking for more, the serial numbers usually start 675### as long as they are local to me I am not too picky about the time period.

ok will keep an eye out

Stephen I see you are interested in items related to Tillsonburg? I have the founder's grandson's medals for WW1. He served in the RNVR. I also have a nurse's group who came from Tillsonburg. Her group includes the town's Welcome Home medal.
