HI Collin,
I am searching for some info into medals that belong to my wife's family. They pertain to 5 individuals, one of which was in Afghanistan in the 1878-80. The medal in question has an ALI MUSJID clasp. The edge has number, rank, name and regiment inscribed on it. They are 1503, Gunr, R. McDowell, 13/9 R.A.. There is also another medal of his that is for around that area, it has two clasps, top says BURMA 1885-7 and bottom say JOWAKI 1877-8, this one has his name spelled as McDowall. If you could help with identifying him, such as DOB, parents and any other family related info I would be very gratefull, or point me in the correct direction.
There are other medals and they all are related to the Royal Artillery. One is a long service medal to the Arsenal in Woolwich.
Again thank you in advance.
