Ex M. Taylor Collection, 1984 and Spink, 28 March 1995, lot 788. D.C.M. Recommendation dated 15.1.1855 (16 D.C.M.’s were awarded to the Cameron Highlanders for service in the Crimea). Private Robert Buchanan, D.C.M., was born in Barony, Glasgow in June 1823, and enlisted in the 60th Rifles February 1852, having previously worked as a Weaver. He transferred to the Cameron Highlanders the following year, and saw service in Turkey and the Crimea for 2 years - being awarded the D.C.M. with a gratuity of £5. Whilst no concrete information regarding this award has been found to date, it is known that 10 Cameron Highlanders were granted the medal for their work as volunteer sharpshooters, who engaged enemy riflemen and gunners at the siege of Sebastopol. As recorded in the ‘79th News’ in May 1909, the following excerpt from the obituary of Sergeant A. Sandison, 79th Highlanders, makes mention of this group of 10 volunteer sharpshooters awarded the D.C.M.: “After the Russian defeat at Alma, and their retiral upon Sevastopol, the 79th took up their position to assist in the protracted and memorable siege. On the 17th of October an incident occurred in which the late Sergeant Sandison, then, however, only a private, showed the stuff he was made of. The 79th was on this occasion called upon to furnish ten volunteers to act, along with equal numbers from other regiments, as sharpshooters, picking off the enemy’s gunners and engaging his riflemen. Sandison and another Caithness soldier, to wit, Private Donald Angus, were among the gallant ten who volunteered from the 79th for this particularly dangerous work. Both of them escaped unscathed, and were rewarded for their bravery with the medal for distinguished conduct.” Buchanan also served in the Indian Mutiny, where the roll confirms his entitlement to the clasp ‘Lucknow’ – with the note ‘invalided to Europe’. His L.S.G.C. with a gratuity of £5 was awarded in July 1861 and he was later discharged in December 1863 after 21 years’ service. Offered with copied service papers and some copied research.
