3642 12th (The Prince of Wales’s) Regiment of Light Dragoons, Military<br />

Merit regiment medal 1818 edge engraved “W.Thorp” rare<br />

The 12th Regiment has a proud history since formation in 1715, not<br />

least of which was to serve with distinction during the Napoleonic<br />

Wars, receiving battle honours ‘Egypt’ (1801-2), ‘Peninsular’ (1811-<br />

14) and ‘Waterloo’ (1815). The regiment was renamed the 12th<br />

(Prince of Wales) Royal Lancers Regiment in 1817. D.Hastings<br />

Irwin (4th edn. 1910) states: “(Regimental medals) were not issued<br />

by the government but were generally issued by officers of the<br />

regiments, at their own expense, to non-commissioned officers and<br />

men for bravery, long service, temperance &c, and were, as a rule,<br />

generally discontinued when the Long Service Medal was instituted<br />

in 1830”. Of five types listed for the 12th Lancers (Light Dragoons),<br />

three appear to be unique gifts to individuals while the other two<br />

are general awards: the first being undated, with PW-LD above and<br />

below the Prince of Wales’ plumes and engraved ‘Reward for 14<br />

Years’ Military Merit’, with loop for suspension; the second with LD/<br />

XII at sides and below the plumes, engraved ‘A Reward for Military<br />

Merit 1818’, with clip for suspension. Est. $400<br />

Thomas Livingstone Mitchell (1792-1855) Surveyor-General<br />

and explorer, born in Scotland and arrived in Australia 1827 as<br />

Assistant Surveyor General for New South Wales. He undertook<br />

three of his four major expeditions between 1831 and 1836 and<br />

after obtaining extended leave in 1837 he left for England where<br />

he produced the above account of his exploits. In April 1844<br />

Mitchell was elected to the Legislative Council at a by-election in<br />

Port Phillip on the platform of separation from New South Wales,<br />

but his continuing role as Surveyor-General forced him to resign<br />

his seat later that year. In 1845 he began his fourth expedition<br />

north-west of Boree in search of a viable route to Port Essington<br />

and a great river flowing north-west. He was unsuccessful in this<br />

quest. His personal ambition, determination and lack of suitable<br />

delegation skills finally led to a Royal Commission into the running<br />

of the Survey Department in July 1855, but whilst on a field survey<br />

he contracted a chill which developed into pneumonia and he died<br />
