Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Military General Service 1793-1814, 1 clasp, Egypt (T. Grey, 22nd Lt. Dragns.) a little polished, therefore nearly very fine £700-£900

Provenance: Sotheby, March 1987. Roll gives entitlement to 2 clasps, Egypt and Java but Egypt only on medal. Of the surviving medals that have appeared on the market to the seven recipients entitled to two clasp medals, they have mostly been with one or other of the entitled clasps. In one instance only has a two-clasp medal been seen but a single clasp medal appearing subsequently would suggest that in some cases two medals have been issued to some recipients.

Thomas Grey is shown in the Regimental Description Book as having been born at Carrick, Shannon, Ireland, but no further information is available due to missing muster rolls for the regiment between June 1802 and December 1806. The muster roll for 1811-12 show him as being ‘invalid to England.’
