Description
A Crimea Medal 1854-56 to Henry J. Collom, H.M.S. Arethusa, no clasp (H. COLLOM. H.M.S. ARETHUSA), engraved in serif capitals, cleaned, near very fine.
(35.99mm diameter)
The collection of Major R. R. Pelham Burn, M.C., T.D.
Entered on the roll for H.M.S. Arethusa as a Calker's Mate, his medal was sent to H.M.S. Dragon 15/02/1856. The roll also appears to show that a Sebastopol clasp was later sent to this man, and this was presumably never fixed to the medal.
