He is show as a Mason of 5ft 8”, Red Hair, Grey Eyes & Fair Complexion.

His conduct during service is recorded as “VERY GOOD”

Early Cavalry Awards to the men of both The Peninsula War & Battle of Waterloo are always greatly sought after by serious collectors.

This is a superlative medal in almost “Mint State” with all its original undisturbed multi colour tone and patina. A lovely crisp example.

The medal comes complete with a colour copy of the service discharge papers which is in itself is an unusual situation where most M.G.S. papers have not survived. Copy medal rolls confirming the clasps are also included.
