from Wikipedia: "The 1st Administrative Battalion, Herefordshire and Radnorshire Rifle Volunteers was formed in 1861. It comprised the 1st to 8th Herefordshire Rifle Volunteer Corps and the 1st to 3rd Radnorshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, units of the Volunteer Force formed in the wake of the Crimean War (In this instance Corps refers to a Company-sized unit of around 100 men, not the more modern use of the word.)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herefordshire_Light_Infantry so 'Herefordshire Battalion' means 1st Administrative Battalion of the Herefordshire Light Infantry?

1860 National Rifle Association Medal with a silver Indian Mutiny or Second China War Medal suspender. On the Herefordshire Battalion clasp there's a silver duty mark. Strangely a King George III mark? Naming on the rim: CPL. C.J. SAXBY HEREFORDSHIRE SEPT. 26. 1865. Was the Herefordshire Battalion a subdivision of the Herefordshire Light Infantry? Is there anything known about a Cpl. Saxby? thx zorg
