拍品专文

The Crimea medal (for Lord Raglan's own medal see lot 50) was instituted by Queen Victoria in December 1854, after the battles of Alma and Inkermann. Lord Raglan received a despatch from the Duke of Newcastle, as Secretary of State for War, on 2 December 1854, to that effect. This table was reputedly that used by the Queen on 18 May 1855 - the first ceremony for the presentation of the medal to veterans of the campaign, who had returned before the conclusion of the war.
