Army of India Medal, 1851, named to Lieut. A. H. Ormsby. 1st Foot, with Ava clasp.
Confirmed on the roll
Lieut. Augustus Ormsby served with the 2nd battalion 1st regiment of Foot, one of 118 Ava clasps to the regiment.
Please note that this medal appears to have been brooched or mounted in some way and re-suspendered at some time in its history, with corresponding marks and naming obscured at some points, see photographs. It seems likely that these and the next lot (medals of Lieut W.C. Ormsby) were from the same family and would have been treated in the same way.
