The Crimea medal awarded to Private John Warren, 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys), a probable Heavy Brigade charger at Balaklava

Crimea 1854-56, 3 clasps, Balaklava, Inkermann, Sebastopol (J. Warren, 2nd Dragns.) officially impressed naming, suspended by silver chains from B. Bailey Coventry silver floral brooch for wearing, light contact marks, nearly very fine £1,000-£1,400

John Warren is shown in the musters as being effective from 1 October to 31 December 1854, and therefore considered to be a ‘probable charger’ (Forgotten Heroes - The Charge of the Heavy Brigade by Roy Dutton refers). He was recommended for the L.S. & G.C. medal on 19 April 1868, which was issued on 30 June 1868, together with gratuity of £10. He was discharged in May 1871.
