Title: Crimea Medal found
Post by: kargil on Monday 21 September 20 20:14 BST (UK)

I have found a Crimea Medal amongst a tin of old coins etc in our loft. No idea of where it came from. It was my father in laws tin.
At sometime, someone has attached a clasp to the reverse to make it into a brooch.
Around the edge I can make out the following -
3931 Pte J Bryson 30th Foot

Can anyone supply any further info on this?
