 Royal Artillery fighting in China
(1856-1860)
The China Medal was awarded to soldiers and sailors who took part in the prosecution of the war against the Chinese from 1856 to 1860. Separate clasps were awarded for men who had been in receipt of the China Medal of 1842; for being actually present at Canton on 28 and 29 December 1857, when that city was bombarded and finally captured; for being actually engaged in the operations which ceased with the first capture of the Taku Forts, 20 May 1858, and led to the Treaty of Tientsin; for being actually present at the capture of the Taku Forts 21 August 1860; and for being actually present before Pekin the day the gate of that city was given up to the allied (British and French) army, viz. on 13 October 1860. Several batteries of the Royal Artillery took part in these actions.CUNNANE. Cost: £8.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Outstanding soldiers of the 75th regiment of Foot
(1860-1870)
The 75th Regiment of Foot embarked for Bengal in May 1849; it helped suppress the Indian Mutiny, taking part in the capture of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow. It returned to England in 1862: the regimental depot was at Chatham. In 1866 the regiment was sent to Ireland; in 1867 to Gibraltar; in 1868 to Hong Kong; half the regiment in 1869 to Singapore; then in 1870 to the Cape of Good Hope and Natal. Each year just a handful of outstanding soldiers of the regiment were chosen for good conduct medals and gratuities: these are listed here. There were two lists, one for men recommended for the Good Conduct Medal without a gratuity, and one for gratuities - £5 to a private, £10 to a corporal, and £15 to a serjeant. Both lists are indexed here, and each gives rank, name, regimental number, date of recommendation and date of issue. (The sample scan is from the 105th foot)CUNNANE.
