Indian Mutiny 1857-59, no clasp (Cr. Serjt. Jas. Robertson, 92nd. Highlanders) polishing to high relief points, nearly very fine £240-£280

James Robertson served with the 92nd Regiment (Gordon Highlanders) during the Indian Mutiny. Employed in the Central Provinces under Sir Hugh Rose, the Regiment distinguished itself by the rapidity of its forced marches and steadiness under fire. Present in the actions at Rajgurh on 15 August 1858, Mungrowlee on 9 October 1858, Sindwaho on 19 October 1858, and Borode on 1 January 1859, the men of the 92nd enjoyed a war of skirmishes and the almost constant pursuit of rebel forces across hundreds of miles of hostile terrain.

Robertson died not long thereafter at Fort William, Calcutta on 22 February 1860, in consequence of anasarca.
