Sutlej 1845-46, for Moodkee, 2 clasps, Ferozeshuhur, Sobraon (William New 3rd Lt. Dragns.), worn overall, good fine or better

William New was born at Tandridge, Godstone, Surrey in June 1823 and enlisted in the 3rd Light Dragoons at London in December 1843. Having joined his regiment at Ambala in October 1844, he saw extensive service over the course of the following years. Present during the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshuhur and Sobraon (Medal & 2 clasps), he served in the Punjab at the battles of Chilianwala and Goojerat (Medal & 2 clasps).

At Ambala, he was injured in February 1850 when a horse fell and crushed his chest and left arm. Transferred to the 14th Light Dragoons in July 1853, the effects of his previous injuries resulted in '...enlargement of the sternum and weakness and wasting of the left arm and forearm.'

Adjudged unfit for further service by a Medical Board, New was discharged in February 1854 and placed upon a pension; sold with copied service papers.

Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.
