Military General Service 1793-1814, 2 clasps, Talavera, Toulouse (John Sulivan, 53rd Foot), edge bruising, very fine

Provenance:
Ex-Cheylesmore Collection 1930.

A unique 2-clasp combination to the Regiment.

John Sulivan was a labourer from Tralee, County Kerry, who served with the 53rd Regiment of Foot from 1808 until July 1822, when he was discharged having volunteered an extension of his services into the Madras European Regiment. An Army of India Medal for Ava to a man of this name was in the Gascoigne Collection and it is probable that they are one and the same. Sulivan was discharged from the Madras European Regiment in October, 1827.
