Lieutenant, Bengal Artillery, December 1845; served<br />

throughout the Second Sikh War, <strong>and</strong> present at the passage<br />

Lieutenant-Colonel Delane was entitled to the Punjab Medal<br />

with the clasps Chilianwala <strong>and</strong> Goojerat, not Mooltan <strong>and</strong><br />

Goojerat. In light of the fact that his medal is officially reimpressed,<br />

it is possible to speculate that his was a slightly<br />

later claim, <strong>and</strong> that his medal, taken from the Mint’s<br />

mountain of returns, had originally been issued with these<br />

clasps.<br />
