Description
Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Trafalgar (Geo. Jackson.), good very fine
Provenance:
Sotheby's, December 1975.
George Jackson served as an Ordinary Seaman aboard H.M.S. Leviathan at the Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805.

In the great victory of Trafalgar, she sailed in the weather column and was hotly engaged with the French flagship Bucentaure, 80, and the Spanish Santisima Trinidad, 140.

Leviathan's losses in the battle were 26 killed and wounded. All her masts were damaged, three guns were disabled and much of her rigging cut to pieces.
Another man with the same name is confirmed on Admiralty claimants list, single clasp 'Syria'.
