Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Delane, born at East<br />
Hampstead, Berkshire, 1829; Commissioned Second<br />
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 />
