[Albert, by the Grace of God, Count of the Rhineland Palatinate, Duke of Bavaria], Reverse, a drowning man reaches up to a hand extended towards him from the clouds, OPERI. MANVM: TVARVM: PORRIGES DEXTERAM, medal approx. 32mm, (Georg Habich, Die deutschen Schaumunzen des XVI Jahrhunderts, Munich, 1929-34, No. 3596; L. Forrer, Biographical Dictionary of Medallists, London, 1904-30, Vol. VI, pp 722-723; Sammlung Lanna, Rudolph Lepke, Berlin, 16-19 May, 1911, No. 816). Suspended from a gilt metal stand. Albert VI of Bavaria, (13 April 1584 - 5 July 1666), der Leuchtenberger, Landgraf von Bayern-Leuchtenberg, was the son of William V, Duke of Bavaria and Renata of Lorraine. He married Mechthilde von Leuchtenberg (24 October 1588 - 1 June 1634) in 1612, and they had five children. Between 1651-1654 Albert was the regent for his young nephew Elector Ferdinand Maria, Elector of Bavaria. The authorship of the medal is not determined, Habich believes it to be Alessandro Abondio (c. 1580-c. 1653). Abondio worked for Duke Albrecht VI and surviving records attest to a long personal relationship between the artist and his ducal patron and wax portraits of the Duke are recorded. Forrer favours Paul Zeggin (fl c. 1623-1666, when he is believed to have died) who is recorded as producing a number of gold medals all set in enamelled frames. Habich records just two specimens of the medal, both gold and both set in frames, one in Munich where the frame is elaborate, the other in Munich with a simpler frame. The Lanna sale records a third example.

Mary Anne, but there is little on record of his service there, other than the medal and its clasps. Of the `Charge of the Light Brigade, Robert H Murray, The History of the VIII King`s Royal Irish Hussars, Cambridge, 1928, quotes a letter, "R.S.M Harding, I am glad to say, was not out with us that day, although much to his annoyance… He was laid up with a boil on his leg". During the Indian Mutiny his "Statement of Services" shows him at the Siege and Capture of Notak, 30 March 1858, Major General Roberts; Capture of Chundaree 29 May 1858; Capture of Gwalior 17th, 18th, 19th June 1858, Major General Sir Hugh Rose; Battle of Sindwaha 19th October 1858, Major General Michel. It was in this last action that he was mortally wounded, "Lt. and Adjutant Harding was dangerously wounded at the Battle of Sindwaha 19th October 1858 and died of the wound on the 23rd Novr. Signed B. Desahs, Colonel Comg. 8th Hussars". The Regiment was awarded 4 Victoria Crosses and 98 sabres for the charge and action at Gwalior, where the `warrior Queen`, the Rani of Jhansi was killed, dressed as a cavalry officer. Harding and six others were "specially mentioned in the despatches for their gallant conduct before Gwalior". Of his final action at Sindwaha the History records "Adjutant Harding, who was advancing singlehanded, attacked a group of desperate fanatics who were steadily retreating, halting occasionally and firing, refusing all quarter. He fell mortally wounded… [He had been] carried along in a dhooly ever since [and] died on the 23rd November, deeply lamented by the whole regiment, whose esteem his gallant and straightforward conduct had earned". A copied family paper states "Buried at Deepnaira, 14 Miles from Seronge".
