Indian Mutiny 1857-59, 2 clasps, Relief of Lucknow, Lucknow (Moses Gammon, 1st. Bn. 23rd. R.W. Fusrs.) edge bruising, very fine £400-£500

Moses Gammon attested for the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers in Oxford on 30 January 1851 and served with the 1st Battalion in the Crimea (entitled to the Crimea Medal with clasps for Alma and Sebastopol, and the Turkish Crimea Medal). He was wounded at the Battle of the Alma, 20 September 1854 - the latest published transcript of the casualty roll erroneously lists him as W. Gammon, but as there was only one man with the name Gammon in the Regiment it is undoubtedly the same man.

Gammon saw further service in India during the Great Sepoy Mutiny, and returned to England in the White Eagle in April 1861.

Sold with copied medal roll extracts and other research.
