A Bayonet Fighting Medal to 224157 Sapper Oliver Walker, 342 Party Royal Engineers. Medal Index Card (not included) shows he was entitled to a pair, and reached the rank of Lance Corporal. Ancestry website shows his pension records, noting he served in India and contracted malaria.

Interestingly, the medal came to me in a small leather pouch, which is obviously old, enscribed to Fish Bros Jewellers, a pawnbrokers which still exists on the Seven Sisters road in Holloway.

Unresearched. Looks like brass or similar, in very good condition. Rare!

Thinning out my collection so I'll be posting over 30 lots in the next few days/weeks - happy bidding!
