The Collection of Medals Formed by The Late John Hillard

AFGHANISTAN 1878-80, 4 clasps, Peiwar Kotal, Charasia, Kabul, Kandahar
(1629 Pte. G. Jennings, 72nd Highrs.), edge bruising and contact
marks, good fine £400-450
George Jennings was born in Bath, Somerset and originally enlisted in the 22nd
Foot in July 1865, aged 24 years - as it transpired an unhappy appointment that
culminated in his imprisonment for theft while stationed in New Brunswick. Thus
in July 1870 he transferred to the 72nd Highlanders, with whom he served out in
India from February 1871 until November 1882, in which period he was present
in the Second Afghan War and won entitlement to the above described Medal &
clasps. Jennings was finally discharged at Chatham as medically unfit for further
service in May 1884; sold with copied service record and Medal & clasp roll
verification.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE GENERAL SERVICE 1880-97, 2 clasps, Transkei,
Basutoland (Capt. S. M. Ferreira, George Burguers), crudely re-riveted
suspension claw and edge bruising, otherwise nearly very fine
£300-350
Just 13 Medals were awarded to the George Burghers, also known as the George
Town Burghers or George Volunteers, all of them for “Transkei” and two of these
with additional “Basutoland” clasps, although the published roll does not credit
Ferreira with one of the latter.

1884, El-Teb-Tamaai, The Nile 1884-85, Abu Klea (1676 Pte. A.
Harkness, 19th Hussars), edge nicks, very fine £800-1000
The whole of the 19th Hussars served on the Nile, of whom seven officers and
128 other ranks fought at Abu Klea. Two officers and 42 other ranks received a 5-
clasp Medal including the “Abu Klea” clasp.
Andrew Harkness was born in Galashiels and enlisted in the 19th Hussars in
Edinburgh in July 1877, aged 18 years. Embarked for Egypt in August 1882, he
remained actively employed in that theatre of war until returning to the U.K. in
July 1885, when he was placed on the Army Reserve; sold with roll verification
for the above described Medal & clasps.
