Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

India General Service 1854-95, 1 clasp, Burma 1885-7 (2169 Sergt. I.M. E. P. Rice 2nd. Bn. R. Muns. Fus) first initial officially corrected (see footnote), cleaned, nearly very fine £140-£180

Edgar S. Rice served as Sergeant Instructor of Musketry, and died of enteric fever at Mandalay on 15 April 1887, aged 30. The burial register shows his as ‘G. S. Rice’; presumably his medal was also originally erroneously engraved ‘G. S. Rice’, hence the correction to the first initial.
