Sergeant Fitgerald was serving in India with the 19th Hussars, attached to the Supply and Transport Corps. The 19th Hussars had only 4 recipients of the clasp for Chin hills, and only 5 for the Relief of Chitral. Fitzgerald’s subsequent service in Tibet, the Great War and Iraq probably makes his group unique. Sold with verification for all medals and clasps.
