List of British recipients of the Légion d'Honneur for the Crimean War
text:
The Légion d'Honneur was awarded to 746 members of the British Armed Forces during the Crimean War which lasted from 1854 to 1856. Prior to the Crimean War there was no precedent of a mass exchange of awards between allied nations. However, in January 1856 Queen Victoria and the Emperor of France formally agreed to an interchange of decorations between their two Armies. However, nominations for the French awards had already been gathered, with recommendations requested at the end of October 1855
