This personal heraldic shield dates from approximately 1855 and likely used as a identifical plaque on the side of a carriage

possibly entitled to the British War and Victory Medals and likely that he joined as a Boy Seaman

but I could tell by his actions that if anything tragic did happen to him while overseas he would want to be buried where he fell amongst his comrades

and Victory Medal (892144 PTE
