Guest Rick Research Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Would someone with the various rolls of recipients please see this: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40551&view=findpost&p=375431 It would be difficult to imagine a Napoleonic campaign medal (sans clasps, alas-- hence the question as to his entitlement) in a more unlikely place! :speechless1:
JBFloyd Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Pte William Barry, 44th (East Essex) Regiment, received the MGS with "Badajoz" clasp. The roll notes that he appears on a pension list 1/6/13.
Guest Rick Research Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 :cheers: Thanks Jeff. Now the Great Mystery is-- what was his medal doing down the Nile in 2009? The oldest member of one of those 1860s searches for the source of the Nile?...
Michael Johnson Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Silver's silver. The wonder is that it wasn't melted down.
