Daniel O'Connell was born c.1834 in Castletar, County Mayo, Ireland, and he attested for service with the 50th (1st Royal West Kent) Foot at Preston on 10 February 1855, having previously worked as a labourer. His papers show nearly a year's service in the Crimea, nearly four years in Ceylon, and five years and seven months in the 'Australian Colonies'. His disciplinary record appears rather chequered.

Estimate: £250-300
