Crimean and Indian Mutiny War Veteran
I have located the first family member that I can confirm was in the Crimean War and also served during the Indian Mutiny. Frederick Benjamin Sherrod husband of Emily Anne Field was with Her Majesties 82nd foot regiment and was awarded the Crimea War medal 1854-55 with clasp, 'Sebastopol', Turkish and Indian Mutiny Medals. After the Crimea for 7 months he then served in India with the 82nd for 12 years and 5 months. I have obtained his service records and will update as I gather more information. Frederick served with the 82nd for more than 21 years and had obtained 4 good conduct badges.
