Awarded by the Governor General of India, Lord Ellenborough, at Ferozepore to Major General Sale's force in November 1842. The 1st Type was considered rough and inartistic, and because not enough were minted to issue to the next of kin, a free exchange was offered for the 2nd Type that had the head of Queen Victoria on the obverse and the winged Victory on the reverse. This medal is part of a collection assembled by the late Hon. Sir Thomas Hughes, Member of the Legislative Council of New South Wales. It was presented to the Memorial in memory of his son, Captain Roger Forrest Hughes, Australian Army Medical Corps, who died of wounds in France on 11 December 1916 and his grandson, Flying Officer Peter Roger Forrest Hughes, 12 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, who was killed on active service while flying in the Northern Territory on 3 October 1942.
