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 />
