Watch List notes:

(1897) Khedive's Sudan medal with one clasp: KHARTOUM. Silver, 36 mm. MY-146 (clasp vi), BBM-102. Edge mount with straight bar swivel suspension. Choice Extremely Fine.
3705 S.S. KNIGHT. J. 21st E of I LANCERS impressed on the edge. Beautifully toned in blue, violet, and gold, with lively luster and only typical handling. A very nice looking medal.

Pvt. J. Knight of the 21st Empress of India Lancers was entitled to this medal, as confirmed by the roll of January 1899. The 21st Lancers are the most legendary unit of this Sudan campaign due to the presence of a guest officer in their ranks at the Battle of Omdurman, a 24 year old subaltern of the 4th Hussars named Winston Churchill. The four squadrons from the 21st Lancers who were present at Omdurman, alongside Churchill, received this clasp for Khartoum.

Offered with a modern ribbon.
