Provenance:
Glendining's, March 1927.
Hayward, June 1976.

Three medals with this combination of clasps awarded to men of the 16th Light Dragoons.

Phillip Chetwood was born circa 1786: a native of Cobbanagan, Portarlington, he enlisted into the 16th (The Queen's) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in September 1804 and saw active service with the regiment until October 1823; he is also noted as a 'Waterloo Man'. Chetwood was admitted as an In-Pensioner to the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 1846 and died there in September 1848. His name is not noted upon the Mullen Roll (probably on account of his death), but the Medal offered here is entirely as issued; sold together with copied Service Record.
