Crimea Medal, clasp Sebastopol, with officially impressed naming to Assistant Surgeon M.C. Ancell, 11^th Hussars. Born c.1831, only son of Henry Ancell of Norfolk Crescent, Hyde Park, London. Assistant Surgeon, Medical Department , 28^th April 1854. Appointed Assistant Surgeon 11^th Hussars 1855. Died at Kadikoi 10^th August 1855. Excerpt from ‘A Victorian R.S.M.’ ‘Our Sergeant, Surgeon Ansell died on the 10^th August of a Putrid fever, I at once took an inventory  of his effects, which I sold by auction in the centre of the encampment a few days afterwards (it being my duty to take possession of and sell by auction the effects of the deceased officers, and after deducting a commission of five percent to hand over the balance to the Major of the Regiment). When I held up his dress jacket, none of the officers present would bid for it as a change of clothing had taken place (tunics being substituted in place of dress jackets and pelisses), so I bid 15s. There being no advance I knocked it down to myself. The other articles were sold equally cheap, the officers not caring to possess the clothing of one who had died of such a terrible disease. Although Mr. Ansell died in the centre of the encampment, his was the only case of the kind in the regiment during the campaign.’ With research and copy medal roll. GVF

A scarce medal to a Groom with the 1st Bombay Lancers, confirmed on roll (copy accompanies the medal). With long ribbon. Raised as the Bombay Squadron of Cavalry by Colonel John Murray in 1803, it was later split into two becoming the 1st and 2nd Bombay Light Cavalry. In 1842, the 1st was renamed 1st Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry (Lancers), a name it held for almost fifty years becoming the 1st (Duke of Connaught's Own) Bombay Lancers in 1890. During the reign of Edward The Seventh, in 1903, it became the 31st Duke of Connaught's Own Lancers. In 1923 the 31st amalgamated with the 32nd (formerly the 2nd Bombay Lancers) and were renamed 13th Duke of Connaught's Own Lancers. Finally, in 1947 following partition, the regiment was allocated to the Pakistan and renamed ‘13th Lancers’. The Duke of Connaught, then Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Army, became their colonel-in-chief in 1890. He still held the appointment in the 13th DCO Lancers on his death in January 1942. The 1st Bombay Light Cavalry were participants in the First Afghan War in 1839 where they were at the capture of Ghuznee and in the march to Kabul returning to India in 1840 [Battle Honours Ghuznee and Afghanistan 1839]. Their second campaign came eight years later, during the Second Sikh War; they were in action at the storming of Mooltan where they remained as garrison until the cessation of hostilities [Battle Honours Mooltan and Punjaubs]. May 1857 saw the start of the Great Mutiny. The 1st Bombay Lancers were at Nasirabad where they were the only ones to remain loyal. Artillery and infantrymen urged them to go over to them but the sowars refused and, under their officers, charged in an attempt to take the guns. They failed to do so but successfully disengaged and took part in the campaign of pacification in Central India [Battle Honour Central India]. They continued to serve outside India and participated in the Third Afghan War during 1878-80. Five years later they were in the East – in Burma during 1885-87. Their final campaign during Queen Victoria’s reign was the one for which this medal was awarded. Good very fine
