NEW ZEALAND MEDAL, undated. 4275 Sergt C Addington 50th Q.O.R. Engraved in style to men discharged in Australia.
Ex P Horne (Christchurch) 1998. With research from Mostly Unsung. Addington was serving in Colombo as a Private prior to being sent to New Zealand. He was on shore from 1 October 1860 to 30 June 1861 and is noted as being in the Regimental Hospital for 49 days. Addington is listed as Sergeant on a record of 1 April 1865. He was subsequently based at Kakaramea and also Wanganui during his service in New Zealand. He served with the 'Left Wing' of the Regiment. He left Auckland bound for Sydney on the last week on June 1867. He re-engaged with the 50th Regiment on 13 September 1867, with the designation of Musketry Instructor. Addington was still serving with the Regiment the following year. This medal is engraved in a recognised Colonial issue style and was probably issued to him in the 1870s, possibly from Australia.
