Military General Service 1793-1814, 2 clasps, Sahagun, Toulouse (G. C. Carpenter, Capt. 15th Hussars), lightly polished with a few light marks, tiny edge graze & nicks, nearly very fine and rare. NOTE: Captain George Charles Carpenter (born c.1792), of Ford Cottage, Northumberland, was appointed Cornet in the 15th Hussars on the 18th of July, 1805, and attained the rank of Lieutenant on the 12th of October, 1808, and Captain on the 16th of July, 1812. He served in the Peninsula during the Corunna campaign between November 1808 and January 1809, and then again between March and April 1814. He is mentioned by name a number of times in the ‘History of the Fifteenth Hussars’, and was summed up a touch unfairly therein by his friend Dr Gibney, mentioning Carpenter as being of a rather sensible and sober disposition: ‘Writing of Captain Carpenter, with whom he had struck up a great friendship, Dr. Gibney says that he “had been a long time in the service, and had seen some hard fighting, and as a man was a general favourite, but not thought of much as an officer, being too fidgety and too quiet. He never neglected his duties, not was in any way deficient of knowledge of his profession; but he cared not for excitement, which, with the routine of duties, constituted the very essence of army life among officers of those days. He neither hunted, shot, gambled, nor drank wine freely, and was very ignorant on the good points of a horse. He was beyond the general run of officers in accomplishments, knowing the classics well, and several foreign languages, though not a University man; good looking.” Elsewhere Gibney tells us that Carpenter played the flute!’ Captain Carpenter retired by sale of his commission on the 7th of August, 1823, and was not present at Waterloo. Sold with copied medal roll entry confirming this entitlement, details as presented in the Challis Roll, where he is recorded as having died at Milan on the 8th of April, 1861 (aged 69), and copied extracts from the regimental history. Ex Glendining’s, March 1969 and Sotheby’s, 8 July 1982, lot 35.
