The circumstances of award and the history of the individual medals are discussed in their own entries, q. v.
The group is attached by a triple clasp through which their ribbons are threaded as with a normal single clasp. The ribbons are secured at the back by a long pin across all three bands. The other part of Major-General Fyler's medal group, not counting its two loose components, are similarly connected; he most likely wore them in two rows.
These were as this implies the medals of Major-General Lawrence Fyler, though he held a lesser rank at the time of their award. He served with the 16th Lancers for all of these campaigns. Some account of these services is given with the entries for each individual medal. The Lester Watson Collection includes his entire medal group, purchased as one by Lester Watson from the London dealers Seaby in 1929.LW.0366d1accession numberLW.0366d141606priref141606Watson CatalogueGroup 8orderingM-0395urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141606https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141606See subordinate records for descriptions of componentsobverseVICTORIAdesignSee subordinate records for descriptions of componentsreversedesignreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009referenceagent-206432adlib-agent-206432e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afbWatson, Lester200920092009givenon loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009183918391839183918461184618461846issuerreferenceagent-167567adlib-agent-1675675ce1f666-30e0-383b-bee5-fff00c8b2f38East India Companyartistreferenceagent-174941adlib-agent-1749418ba653dd-3bef-332c-a3cb-822cc499c1fdWyon, Williaminferredrulerreferenceagent-151398adlib-agent-151398bb2cd0a1-0a27-3787-a684-475d3b199972Victoria (1837-1901)with the title ofrulerreferenceagent-174943adlib-agent-1749439c2be08c-ce74-3f9c-b796-3c936a5088e0Victoria reginaDiametermm126.3Weightg119.2referencemedia-116763adlib-media-11676367f578f6-b9dd-3126-9503-18ffa479cdb4jpegcm/cm15/LW_0366d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels35316162584157941imagejpegcm/cm15/LW_0366d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels35316162584157941imagejpegcm/cm15/LW_0366d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels35316162584157941imagejpegcm/cm15/preview_LW_0366d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels258widthpixels25016162584157941image0media
