Hi Simon

Sure, will do. I'm not the world's best photographer but the miniature has a bar suspension as seen on the MGS. I think that the recipient actually got an MGS so maybe there is the mate to his Waterloo out there somewhere.

I find it rather curiously Victorian that those who were awarded medals would then have their miniatures engraved with their names and regiments.

It's not universally done, but always adds something to a medal when you see it.
