      Description:

      THE UNIQUE 19TH HUSSARS 5 CLASP EGYPT MEDAL 1882-89 AND KHEDIVE'S STAR 1882 PAIR AWARDED TO PRIVATE S.J. WALKER, THE ONLY MAN OF THE 19TH HUSSARS TO BE AWARDED A 5 CLASP EGYPT MEDAL WITH A POSTHUMOUS ABU KLEA CLASP . Two: Egypt Medal 1882-89, 1882 reverse, 5 clasps, Tel-El-Kebir, Suakin 1884, El-Teb Tamaai, The Nile 1884-5, Abu Klea (officially engraved: 2155 Pte. S.J. WALKER. 19th. HUSSARS); Khedive's Star 1882 (reverse regimentally impressed: 2155 S.J. WALKER). Egypt Medal with an attractive light tone, generally Good Very Fine to Almost Extremely Fine.

      Group accompanied by copied extract from Jack Webb's "The Abu Klea Medal Rolls" and copied original medal rolls, confirming medals and clasps.

      Although the 19th Hussars saw service as a regiment in both the campaign of 1882 in Egypt and the Nile campaign of 1884-5, only two officers and 42 other ranks received a 5 clasp medal including the Abu Klea clasp. The 19th Hussars lost two men killed in action at Abu Klea, Privates W. Purton and S.J. Walker, two men mortally wounded and two men wounded. Of the two men killed in action, only Private Walker received a 5 clasp medal, Private Purton receiving a 3 clasp Egypt Medal, with clasps El-Teb Tamaii, The Nile 1884-5 and Abu Klea. Both the men who were mortally wounded, Farrier Quarter-Master Sergeant F. Short and Private J. Whitfield, received 4 clasp medals (Suakin 1884, El-Teb Tamaii, The Nile 1884-5 and Abu Klea).

      The 19th Hussars were the only horse-borne cavalry to see service in General Wolseley's Desert Column, the remainder of the mounted element of the column being provided by the four Camel Corps, composed of detachments of officers and men from the Heavy Cavalry and Light Cavalry, Foot Guards and Line Infantry.
