Henry Cross (No. 3059) is confirmed on the roll of those men of the 3rd Foot who landed in the Crimea in the 1st and 3rd May 1855, entitled to the Medal (roll marked ‘WO’ indicating that it would be officially impressed and that he had likely died on service in the Crimea). None of the rolls for the 3rd Foot show any clasp entitlement so the Sebastopol clasp remains unconfirmed.

Sold with copied medal roll extract.
