Description
Khedive’s Sudan 1896-1908, 1 clasp, Khartoum (3440 Corpl. S.S. W. Harris 21st. Lcrs.) Regimentally engraved naming, good very fine £300-£400
---
W. Harris attested for the 21st Hussars and served as a Corporal Shoeing Smith with ‘B’ Squadron during the re-conquest of the Sudan. He was wounded in the left knee and had his horse shot from under him during a reconnaissance skirmish on 1 September 1898, and therefore may well have missed the regiment’s celebrated Charge at Omdurman the following day (although other sources state, perhaps erroneously, that he was wounded in the actual Charge). He was invalided back to England in January 1899, and his Queen’s Sudan Medal was issued to him at the Depot at Canterbury.
