Military General Service 1793-1814, 1 clasp, Talavera (Wm. Kershaw, 24th Foot.) minor edge bruising, otherwise better than very fine £1,400-£1,800

Glendining’s, September 1988; Dix Noonan Webb, December 2001.

William Kershaw was wounded in the head at Talavera and became a prisoner of war. The muster lists record him as a prisoner of war until December 1811, after which his name is no longer recorded and presumably he returned to England. He was admitted to a late pension ‘wounded head Tal’ (WO 116/60 refers).

Sold with copied muster and medal roll entries together with muster search details.
