The extracts are from the Journal of the UK OMRS, Spring 1990, and appears to show the same (or very similar) device being worn as a regimental medal, viz. the "Albuhera Cross" awarded to Clr Sgt Henry Parkinson, 7th Foot.
So it would seem that these devices were used in a variety of functions. Regards Jeff

Wow, it just gets better! I'm under no illusions that mine is a medal, but further evidence linking it to the Royal Fusiliers is superb info.
Thank very much Jeff, much appreciated (and Dave too for the first RF reference).
