A Queen's Sudan Medal 1896-98 re-engraved to Sergeant Frank Knowles, 21st Lancers, (3402, SERGT F. KNOWLES. 21/L/CERS.), personal details re-engraved in official style serif capitals, unit details officially engraved, about very fine.

The collection of Major R. R. Pelham Burn, M.C., T.D.

Possibly ex. A.H. Baldwin & Sons, 12th June 1946

Frank Knowles, A Company, 21st Lancers, took part in the famous charge of his regiment at the Battle of Omdurman, September 1898. A Lance Corporal at that time, he was promoted to Sergeant 01/04/1900. It is possible that this re-engraved medal is an honest, though unofficial, replacement for his original medal, reflecting his later rank.
