Description
Military General Service 1793-1814, 3 clasps, Pyrenees, Orthes, Toulouse (Geo. Roy, 42nd Foot.), edge knocks and a little wear, suspension somewhat slack, nearly very fine
Provenance:
Glendining's, November 1905.
Blair Collection, 1937.
Lovell Collection, 1952.
George Roy served as a Private with the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, known as 'The Black Watch'. News of Napoleon's abdication on 4 April 1814 had not reached Wellington's army by 10 April, when it attacked the city of Toulouse (clasp), defended by Marshal Soult. Here the 42nd sustained their heaviest losses of the Peninsular War, General Clinton having assigned them the honour of leading the British advance. The 42nd attacked a series of redoubts over open ground, and were subjected to withering canister fire. French troops in nearby houses enfiladed their flanks. The battalion was reduced from an effective strength of over 500 to just 2 officers and 60 men.
