Army L.S. & G.C., V.R., small letter reverse (1186 H. Hampstone 1st....), unit all but erased, nearly very fine

Henry Hampston was born at Clareborough, Nottingham and only earned this L.S. & G.C. Medal. He was discharged on 1 September 1873 having served twenty one years, fourteen of which being in the East Indies. He enlisted into the 81st Foot, a gentleman's servant by trade. Transferred to the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in May 1863, this perhaps explains the attempted erasure of the second unit in which he served.
