A Collection of Contemporarily Renamed Waterloo Medals
Beschreibung
Waterloo 1815, naming mostly erased apart from first four letters of Christian name and parts of regimental designation, fitted with steel clip and ring suspension, severe edge bruise and contact marks, fair to fine £200-£300 --- Christian name is clearly Nicholas and the remaining decipherable lettering of the regiment leads to ‘1st Batt. 52nd Reg. Foot.’ The only possible recipient of this medal is therefore Nicholas Hunt, a Bugler (roll shows as ‘Drummer’) in Captain McNair’s Company of the 1st 52nd Foot at Waterloo. Nicholas Hunt was born in the Parish of Greenwich, Kent, and attested for the 52nd Foot at London on 14 May 1808, aged 14. He was appointed a Bugler on 25 January 1814 until 25 September 1818, when he reverted to Private. He was promoted to Corporal on 4 October 1827, reduced to Private on 15 January 1830, and was discharged on 14 November 1832. He served ‘Five years in the Peninsula; Four years six months in Flanders & France; Eight years, four months in America. Present in every action, siege and affair in which the Regt. was engaged, except Corunna & Fuentes D’Onor; Present at the battle of Talavera, passage of the Douro & the Battle of Waterloo.’
