EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Crimea Medal 1854-56, awarded to Private Thomas Connell of the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers). The medal, beautifully crafted by an English School in the 19th century, is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The Crimean War Medal holds significant historical importance as it was authorized by Queen Victoria on December 15,1854. It symbolizes bravery and valor during a tumultuous period marked by conflict. Notably, this particular medal features a clasp for Sebastopol, highlighting Private Thomas Connell's participation in one of the war's most pivotal battles. Queen Victoria also sanctioned two additional clasps for other notable battles: Alma on September 20,1854 and Inkerman on November 5,1854. Interestingly, it wasn't until February 23rd of the following year that a clasp for Balaklava was authorized. Finally, on October 13th, 1855 came the much-deserved clasp commemorating Sevastopol's fall on September 9th. This remarkable artifact serves as a testament to Private Thomas Connell's courage and dedication to his regiment during this arduous campaign. Its presence at the National Army Museum allows visitors to connect with history and appreciate those who fought valiantly in defense of their country.
