EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Crimea Medal 1854-56, awarded to Private Thomas Connell of the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers). Crafted from metal and captured by the British School in the 19th century, this historical artifact is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The medal itself holds great significance as it was sanctioned by Queen Victoria on December 15,1854. It features two authorized clasps for the battles of Alma and Inkerman, which occurred on September 20 and November 5, respectively. Interestingly, a clasp for Balaklava was not authorized until February 23,1855 - even though it took place before Inkermann on October 25,1854. Another notable clasp commemorates the fall of Sevastopol on September 9, granted on October13 , 1855. Private Thomas Connell's bravery and service during these historic conflicts earned him this prestigious medal. The Crimean War Medal serves as a testament to his courage and dedication to duty. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Private Connell who fought valiantly during one of history's most significant conflicts.
