A small detachment from the 7th Hussars were part of a camel-mounted force that served in the Nile campaign: just 47 enlisted men, along with five officers. Private Long's medal is in near perfect condition because he never wore it. The medal roll reflects that he died on February 8, 1883, almost two years before Abu Klea.
Offered with a modern ribbon.
