Description

Crimea Medal, 1854-6, bar Sebastopol, Contemporary Engraving to Sergt J. Lee, Royal Marine on board HMS Highflyer.

 

Contemporarily engraved naming in neat serif style reading: “J. LEE, SERGT R.M. ON BOARD H.M.S. HIGHFLYER”

 

Crimea medal and clasp confirmed on the medal roll which notes his medal was Delivered on Board to his Sergeant, along with his other fellow Marines.

 

Medal roll notes (S/71) confirming the issue of the Sebastopol Clasp.

 

Shown on the medal roll as a Private at the time of issue, so he seems to have been promoted later by the time he had his medal engraved, worthy of further research into his career.

 

Also contact wear to medal would match a long career with the Royal Marines.
