Description
In silver, un-named, obverse illustrating King George III receiving the medal from Colonel Crosbie on the terrace at Windsor, the castle in the background, inscribed "ESTABLISHED UNDER ROYAL SANCTION" above and dated "1785" below, engraver marked "MOSSOP. P." on the edge of the platform that the King is standing upon, reverse inscribed "REESTABLISHED BY COL: SIR H: GOUGH 1ST JANUARY 1820" in the centre, surrounded by the inscription "ORDER OF MERIT 22nd REGIMENT", with crossed branches of oak leaves and acorns at the base, measuring 36 mm in diameter, hinged silver suspension bar with lightly soiled original white ribbon, extremely fine.
Footnote: The Cheshire Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. The 22nd Regiment of Foot was raised by the Duke of Norfolk in 1689 and was able to boast an independent existence of over 300 years. The regiment was expanded in 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms by the linking of the 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment of Foot and the militia and rifle volunteers of Cheshire. The title 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment continued to be used within the regiment. On September 1, 2007, the Cheshire Regiment was merged with the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment (29th/45th Foot) and the Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's) to form a new large regiment, the Mercian Regiment, becoming the 1st Battalion, Mercian Regiment.
