National ArchivesOutstanding soldiers of the 13th Hussars (1881-1901)
Each year the best soldiers of the regiment were chosen for long service and good conduct medals. This register gives rank, name, regimental number, and date of recommendation. (The sample scan is from the East Surrey regiment). The register is essentially a register of recommendations, annotated with details of the issue of the medals. Where no gratuity accompanied the medal, the entry is marked 'W. G.' (without gratuity); where, for one reason or another, the medal was not issued, the entry is marked 'N. S.' (not sanctioned) and struck through. The 13th Hussars embarked for India 7 June 1874, were transferred to South Africa, and in 1885 were in Natal. The home depot was at Canterbury. Returning from Natal 3 November 1885, by 1895 they were based at Dundalk. Having been sent out to South Africa, they added "South Africa, 1899-1902" and "Relief of Ladysmith" to the regimental honours.
