140 800 soldiers of the french 1st Empire
The Ste Helen's medal database is still growing and reach now the number
of 140 800 soldiers of the first Empire who got the Ste Helen's medal in
1857. The names and history of these men are available for free on our
website and database.
We thank all people who are voluntary working on the project.
We are still working to find all soldiers that are unknown. We are
thinking that, such as in Belgium, Italy, Denmark some of them might have been
decorated in other countries. We know that some have been in Canada. So
we are wondering about possibly american people decorated with the st
Helen's medal in 1857, and why not in england with immigrated soldiers
or members of the irish legion ?
If you are living in these countries and want to help us, please try to search in your archives places or ask the question to the curators to know if the medal has been distributed in your country. You may also have a look-up on the newspapers of the end of the year 1857 or 1858 to search a ceremony of medal's delivery.
