Waterloo 1815 (Richard Garside, 23rd Light Dragoons) fitted with steel clip and ring suspension, edge bruising and general wear but better than good fine £800-1000

Richard Garside was probably born at Bury, Lancashire, in August 1788. He enlisted into the 23rd Light Dragoons at Dublin on 30 March 1808, in Captain Allen’s Troop. He was present at Talavera when many men of the 23rd were taken prisoner following a charge against the enemy. At Waterloo he was serving in Captain Garrard’s Troop. He was discharged on 24 November 1817, on disbandment of the regiment. Sold with some research.
