| I have read somewhere that a tiny fragment of the 1st Battalions Queens Colour was sent to Coghills Farther who placed it in a locket and kept it for the rest of his life.
Can anyone confirm this or is the locket on display anywhere??
Cheers DB14 |

| Just found this on the internet :)
Sir Joscelyn Coghill, Nevill's father, was sent a tiny scrap of the Colour, smaller than a postage stamp, which he had enclosed in a gold and crystal locket.
Brilliant i wonder if its on display anywhere??

| Dave, The VC was going to be presented to Coghills farther but sadly he died before the awards where made. The VC was given to his brother and i am pretty sure now in the museum.
