A SECOND AFGHANISTAN WAR MEDAL NAMED TO: 120. PTE. R. ALLAN. 92nd HIGHLANDERS.

Clasps: CHARASIA, KABUL & KANDAHAR.

KABUL AND KANDAHAR STAR MEDAL NAMED TO: 56/120. PTE. ROBt. ALLAN. 92nd. HIGHLANDERS.

EGYPT MEDAL NAMED TO: 379. PTE. R. ALLEN. 1/GORDON HIGHLANDERS.

KHEDIVE'S STAR 1882.

GOOD SHOOTING MEDAL DATED 1902.

Condition: VF and Better.

Pte. R. Allan Gordon Highlanders from Falkirk. This a rare group. Research includes news paper clippings of his obituary with a photo (he was the last men to pass away from his regiment in Glasgow), and medal rolls. R. Allan on the Afghan group and R. Allen on Egypt medal. The R. Allen is certainly the same man.. he was pulled in from the Reserve after the Afghan campaign and renumbered on joining. He didn't last long in Egypt before being send home again.

The Good Shooting medal was most likely won on Reserve. He had a long relationship with the Gordons.

Note that the entry page from 56th Brigade Depot, Aberdeen for period April-June 1874 (REF wo 12/10304), shows No. 120 Robert Allan, as then being 21 years of age and 3 months and who had enlisted at Stirling 1874. The obituary shows that Robert Allan was 82 when he died - thus making him 21 in 1874, and further his place of birth in the obituary shown as Falkirk in the neighboring town of Stirling - one and the same man.

Every single Afghan/Egypt combination to any British Infantry regiment that was formed of the amalgamations in 1881 always shows different regimental numbers on the respective named medals. The reason for this, for those who don't know, is all due to the Cardwell Army Reforms of 1881, at which time all regiments that amalgamated in that year (75th Foot became 1st Gordons and 92nd Foot became 2nd Gordons), were at date of amalgamation given a brand new "regiment" block of numbers. Thus making redundant at a stroke the earlier numbers used in Afghanistan.

The news paper obit titled "Last Glasgow Survivor Dead: Of Epic Kabul-to-Kandahar March" confirms there was only one R. Allan who served in both Afghanistan and Egypt.

Comes with attestation papers.
