Just had another look at the Crimea, there are a number of awards for, James Jack in the Crimea, rechecking shows they have differing units and reg nos.

Same James but images show Crimea Meadal and then 2 different clasps.

I've downloaded them. Clasps for Alma 20 September and Inkerman 5 November.

Same James but images show Crimea Meadal and then 2 different clasps, so 3 images.

That's strange, on Anc. it said no clasps

 

[DaveHam9]

I tried Anc. first then moved on.

 

[DaveHam9]

Oh. Medal plus 3 clasps.

B = Balaklava

WO 100/29

Clasps for Balaklava continued...

As you go through the images the columns and clasps add up.

Last image shows Medal plus clasps for Alma and Inkerman [column headings] and the B for Balaklava.

I tried Anc. first then moved on.

What a silly error, I must have had the search on Scotland redf)

 

[DaveHam9]

I think the most interesting bit is that he is still in the army and stationed in Perth in 1861.
