PRIVATE PATRICK TONER, 49TH (PRINCESS CHARLOTTE OF WALES’S) REGIMENT (THE POST 1880 1ST BATTALION BERKSHIRE REGIMENT). Crimea Medal, 2 clasps, Inkerman, Sebastopol (officially impressed: PATk. TONER. 49th. REGt.). Bruise to obverse rim at 10 o’clock, otherwise Good Very Fine.

Patrick Toner was slightly wounded during the final attack on the Redan, 8/9/1855. This was an assault from which attack the 49th Regiment emerged relatively unscathed, losing just 1 officer and 2 men killed, and 2 officers and 26 other ranks wounded.

Medal accompanied by copied extract from published casualty roll and copied extracts from medal rolls, confirming medal and clasps. On the roll for the Inkerman clasp, recipient’s surnamer is spelt Tonner, but on all other rolls it is spelt Toner, which is most likely the correct spelling, Toner being a fairly common Irish surname.

NOTE: The Long Service and Good Conduct Medal to this man is known to have survived and was sold on Ebay in 2025.
