*Military General Service 1793-1814, two clasps, Vittoria, St Sebastian (Ensign. T. Crawley. 59th Foot), engraved in sloping serif capitals, extremely fine, later issue Although the medal appears to be entirely as issued, the recipient is not on the published transcript roll. However there is a reference to an Ensign Thomas Crawley of the 59th (2nd Nottingham) Regiment of Foot in Note's on Wellingtons Peninsular Regiments by Ray Foster. It would appear that Crawley was wounded six days before the 31st August 1813 when the regiment and the British Army suffered heavy casualties storming the walls of St Sebastian. Worthy of further research. (1)

Hartley was 32 years of age at the time of the so-called Basuto Gun War and won his VC for the following action:-'On 5 June 1879 in South Africa, Surgeon Major Hartley attended the wounded under fire at the unsuccessful attack at Morosi's Mountain, Basutoland. From an exposed position, on open ground, he carried in his arms a wounded corporal of the Cape Mounted Riflemen. The surgeon major then returned under severe enemy fire in order to dress the wounds of other men of the storming party'Hartley was presented with his VC in 1881 after it had taken some time to be approved. The regiment's commanding officer was under the impression that Colonial Troops were not entitled to the VC. Hartley's full size group is displayed in the Royal Army Medical Services Museum in Surrey, having been purchased by the regiment at a Sotheby's Auction in 1955 at the then record price of £300 There were 13 recipients of the Cape of Good Hope General Service medal to qualify for all three bars, of which Hartley was the unique VC winner.

They would operate in small bodies to harass, panic and wear out the French army. They were never to get too deeply engaged with French troops and to retire when pressed. Local knowledge was to be used as much as possible and they were also expected to cut off French pillaging detachements. Uncommon. (1)
