2nd China War medal w/ Canton 1857 clasp

07-08-2010, 12:19 PM

Just arrived today, a 2nd China war medal with the less often seen Canton 1857 clasp

This one to Serjeant William Golesworthy of the 4th Bty, 12th Brigade Royal Artillery. One of only 3 British RA batteries present at Canton so an even less commonly seen medal and clasp to a gunner.
