Hammer Price:
£380

Cabul 1842 (J. Sessions. LI. IX. Regt.) contemporary engraved naming in heavy large serif capitals, fitted with later silver straight bar suspension, edge bruising, contact marks to reverse, very fine £300-£400

Two men with the name J. Sessions served with the 9th Regiment of Foot in Cabul: 223 Private James Sessions, and 224 Private John Sessions; both were born in Deddington, Oxfordshire, and thus were presumably brothers.

Sold with copied service papers for both men.
