hi i am looking to see if my gggrandfather thomas williams 1st batt 5th regiment northumberland fusiliers had the afghan medal, he served in india from 1867-1880 when he came home early due to exhaustion related illness,the regiment came home in 1881 just a few months later would that mean hed not get a medal. he was born 1839 shropshire and after being in hospital in netley returned to oswestry shropsire, thank loved reading all the other posts,
