| This unidentified veteran of the 72nd Regiment of Foot/Seaforth Highlanders wears a single clasp Afghan War medal, the Kabul to Kandahar Star, a single clasp (Tel el Kebir) Egypt Medal and it's usual companion bronze Khedive's Star. Although there is nothing obvious photographic evidence indicating this man belonged to the 72nd Foot/Seaforth Highlanders, his regiment's identification is based upon his particular combination of medals. My research seems to show that only the 72nd/Seaforths were entitled to this specific grouping of campaign medals. Cabinet Photograph T. J.
