Military General Service, 1793-1814, 2 clasps, Salamanca, Vittoria (A. Mann, 3rd Foot Guards), small nick to cheek and occasional hairlines, nearly extremely fine. Private Alexander Mann served with the 3rd (Scots) Fusilier Guards in Spain as part of Captain Seymour's Company, and was present at the hard fighting which took place during the Battle of Salamanca. The M.G.S. medal roll confirms this 2-clasp award, despite the fact that the 3rd Foot Guards were also present at Barossa, suggesting that he may have been wounded or invalided. The original medal rolls held by the national archives also list him as a 'Waterloo Man' although he does not seem to appear on the Waterloo medal roll. Ex Dix, Noonan & Webb, 15 December 2000 and C.J. Dixon, 2001
