Description
Pair: Sergeant M. Hickey, 21st Foot, who was wounded at Inkermann, 5 November 1854
Crimea 1854-56, 3 clasps, Alma, Inkermann, Sebastopol (Corp. Michl Hickey 21st Regt) Hunt & Roskell engraved naming; Turkish Crimea 1855, British issue, unnamed as issued, plugged with silver suspension, minor edge bruising, therefore nearly very fine or better (2) £400-£500
---
Michael Hickey was born in Pinlate, County Clare, Ireland. He attested for the 45th Foot (No. 3154) at Limerick in January 1850, and transferred as Private (No. 2765) to the 21st Foot in April 1850. Hickey served with the Regiment in the Crimea, and was wounded at Inkermann, 5 November 1854 (London Gazette 12 November 1854). Two men of this name and regiment were wounded at Inkermann - the published transcription of the casualty roll gives their numbers as ‘3174’ [sic] and ‘2329’, the former appearing to be a transcription error from Hickey’s number with the 45th Foot.
Hickey was promoted to Corporal in January 1855, and advanced to Sergeant in June the same year. He was discharged medically unfit, in August 1856, as a consequence of the shot gun wound to his left arm received at Inkermann. The ball was still lodged in his arm.
Sold with copied service papers.
