Tracking down service records for British medals?

dr gonzo · 2011-05-16 19:45:40

After getting some excellent info on another item i put up i was wondering if anyone could give me a rundown of how to find information about a named medal? Its a crimean medal named to an royal engineer i believe. Is there a free site where i could track the guy down and see what his story is? Thanks all.

Also you can by a credit and download his service records (if exist) from www.findmypast.co.uk . Also medal roles should be available there.
