Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, dated reverse, 1 clasp, Tel-El-Kebir (1531. Pte. G. Waller. 1/R. Suss: R.) pitting and light contact marks, otherwise nearly very fine, rare £300-£400

The Royal Sussex Regiment was not present at the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir; it is therefore likely that the recipient was employed as a soldier servant to an Officer of the Regiment attached to a different unit or on the Staff.
