PRIVATE JAMES QUINN, 88TH FOOT (POST 1880 1ST BATTALION CONNAUGHT RANGERS).Crimea Medal, 1 clasp, Sebastopol (privately engraved in running script: 3848 James Quinn 88th Foot). Good Very Fine.

Medal accompanied by photocopied extracts from the Medal Roll confirming medal and clasp. Private Quinn was wounded on at least two and possibly three occasions during the Crimean campaign. The casualty roll confirms that 3848 Private James Quinn was slightly wounded on 12th July 1855 (the regimental history confirms that during the period 8th 12th July 1855 two privates of the regiment were killed and eleven wounded), and was subsequently severely wounded during the final attack on the Redan, 8th September 1855. A Private James Quinn of the 88th Foot, who has no service number against his name on the casualty roll but is possibly the same man (there are two James Quinns on the 88th Foot Crimea Medal Roll 3676 Private and 3848 Private), was also severely wounded before Sebastopol on 14th August 1855.
