The murder of the British envoy provoked an initial evacuation of the British garrison, most of which was massacred on its march back to India. The British forces in Afghanistan were for a short while confined to those at the fort of Khelat-i-Ghilzai and the garrison of Jalalabad, which withstood siege until it could be relieved by the British a short while later in the campaign that restored British control in the area. After the relief of Jalalabad the Governor-General of India determined on the issue of a silver medal for its defenders, but was dissatisfied with the result. When a shortfall was discovered the opportunity was taken to redesign the medal for the second issue. Those soldiers awarded the first were offered a free exchange of it for the second issue but very few chose to do so. One such recipient was Private Joseph Walker of Prince Albert's Light Infantry, otherwise known as the 13th Foot Regiment. Lester Watson purchased his medal at some point before 1928. 38 reference exhibition-1967 adlib-exhibition-1967 6984c1c2-8fb8-37f2-bc1e-13468b4a0475 Imagery of War CM.1288-2009 1 accession number CM.1288-2009 141382 priref 141382 Watson Catalogue 191 ordering M-0171 previous object number LW.0171 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141382 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141382 Mural crown obverse JELLALABAD design Inscription reverse VII APRIL, 1842 design reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009 reference agent-206432 adlib-agent-206432 e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afb Watson, Lester 2009 2009 2009 given on loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009 1842 1842 1842 mint reference agent-167755 adlib-agent-167755 627a5b0f-5cae-3ff7-a61b-7f2fe07b5c96 Calcutta issuer reference agent-167567 adlib-agent-167567 5ce1f666-30e0-383b-bee5-fff00c8b2f38 East India Company struck in the rule of ruler reference agent-151398 adlib-agent-151398 bb2cd0a1-0a27-3787-a684-475d3b199972 Victoria (1837-1901) reference term-123133 adlib-term-123133 f13e3f6e-a3e0-3063-8865-7cbee4ef9327 Calcutta reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Diameter mm 38.6 Weight g 31.57 reference media-116315 adlib-media-116315 b4d6c7ea-24ea-36ba-ac9a-b296bfdff569 jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 169 1742589736997 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 169 1742589736997 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 169 1742589736997 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 169 1742589736997 1 image 0 media image reference media-116316 adlib-media-116316 a1542c07-260e-3cc4-aa02-eb2c087218fb jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 173 1742589792954 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 173 1742589792954 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 173 1742589792954 1 image jpeg cm/cm15/LW_0171_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 365 width pixels 173 1742589792954 1 image 1 media image reference term-122908 adlib-term-122908 8f90f757-54b1-3d00-be5e-20a875dd450f Jellalabad Medal (Mural Crown) denomination reference term-98222 adlib-term-98222 b5ccc43a-7491-344e-b6ca-5df39a11c50e medals series reference term-108659 adlib-term-108659 cc732dec-4543-389e-a737-cf22bb7d2ee2 Military subseries reference term-107681 adlib-term-107681 e80da827-45c6-3b71-a3ef-28794a05e4a8 Britain subsubseries reference term-122717 adlib-term-122717 140af9ad-d215-34d9-9d42-52ecb5d3fead British Army subsubsubseries history note Gift of L.
