Waterloo 1815 (John Thomas, 32nd Regiment Foot) fitted with steel clip and small ring suspension, contact marks and edge bruising, otherwise nearly very fine £1200-1500

John Thomas enlisted as a recruit at Manchester on 12 April 1813. The muster rolls for 1815 show him ‘on the Continent’ from 25 March and as being sick in the regimental hospital from July through September, though whether from wounds or illness is not stated. After service in the Channel Islands from March to December 1816, he returned to Hilsea from where he deserted on 9 March 1817. Sold with some research.
