Beschreibung
Waterloo 1815 (Levi Bently, 18th Regiment Hussars.) fitted with replacement steel clip and ring suspension, nearly very fine £1,400-£1,800 --- Provenance: Sotheby’s, 1969. Levi Bently enlisted into the 18th Light Dragoons at Chelmsford, Essex, on 11 June 1804, aged 19. He served 19 years 92 days, including Waterloo, and was discharged at Newbridge, County Kildare, on 4 September 1821, in consequence of ‘Disbandment of the Regiment and having chronic enlargement of the knee joints & being wounded in the right arm in France.’ He was ‘recommended for His Majesty’s Bounty of Kilmainham Hospital’ and was duly admitted on 12 September 1821. He survived to claim the M.G.S. medal with two clasps for Vittoria and Toulouse, which was sold at Glendining’s in January 1912. Sold with copied Kilmainham discharge papers but his personal details are very faint to read.
