Eimer 890, BHM 447.

47mm. Bronze. By C.H Kuchler.

Obverse showing Hope holding a medallion of Nelson. Reverse showing British fleet assembled in Aboukir Bay, preparing to engage the French. Reverse field engraved with 'John Darlston'.

Only About Fine and edgy, pierced for suspension. Worthy of further research.

The 15 muster books of ships that participated at The Battle of The Nile do not contain a reference to John Darlston. The nearest entry by spelling is a 'J. Dalingston' (aged 42, born Kenwen, Cornwall, rank of Gunner) aboard HMS Culloden.
