The majority of the medals for British troops were however lost with their ship during carriage to Britain in 1856, and so British troops often obtained themselves copies of the Sardinian or sometimes the French issue instead. This example is an imitation of the French issue, with the French standard given pride of place in the field. It is engraved to Gunner W. Hudson of the Royal Artillery. Lester Watson acquired his medal at some point before 1928.
