QUEEN'S SUDAN MEDAL 1899. 3439 Pte H.S.Jones. 4th HRS. Attd. 21st Lancers. Engraved. With edge nicks contact marks on obverse field, otherwise fine.
Together with an article on the famous Charge at Ombdurman by the 21st Lancers written by Ian McInnes and published in The Medal Box magazine. Contained in the article is a previously unpublished roll for the Sudan showing those who served at Omdurman. In this article Pte H Jones is listed without a Lancers' regimental number, which would be the case if he was attached to the unit. This is as indicated by the naming on the medal offered here for sale. Pte H Jones is recorded as serving in B Squadron which was commanded by Major John Fowle. Of the four squadrons present, B Squadron received two Victoria Crosses and had 10 men killed with 24 wounded, a total of 34 casualties. This was more casualties than the other three units combined.
