Provenance: Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, October 1996.

The Enterprize was an H.E.I.C. steamer employed in the main with transporting men and material on the River Ganges. There are no formal medal rolls in existence for the Indian Marine, and efforts over the years to find rolls for a number of medals named to various ships have proved fruitless. In most cases only one or two medals are known to these ships.
