Well, I got this off eBay. I thought it was one of Wellingtons' old hands, but now I look at it it might be a Crimea vet with a LS and regimental medal.

Here is a close up. I swear that's an MGS at the top with a couple of bars...and a Waterloo lower right side-although the ring's a bit small..... but maybe it's just wishful thinking....

I'm seeing an NGS (Syria), a St. Jean d'Acre, a Crimea and a Turkish Crimea.

A lovely old photo  -  and some special medals being shown.  I would judge the photo to be about the 1880's
from the style of dress ?
