HMS Vesuvius Crimean Medal Roll Transcribed from ADM 171/28

This is transcribed from photocopies of the hand-written original, and as such is not guaranteed to be error-free, and the original list is known not to have been complete. The Master, George Reid, is missing for example. Where names are unclear, (?) has been used.   Some of the officers are linked to biographies offsite at T. Muir's blog about Richard Ramsay Armstrong (see below).   S signifies the 'Sebastopol' Clasp for the medal; I the 'Inkerman' Clasp and Az the 'Azoff' Clasp. Here again, these are what were discernible in the original document, and should only be taken as a rough guide. Most of the 'AZ' are fairly clear, but 'S' are not. In reality almost everyone on this list got the 'S' clasp - either for taking part in the bombardment of 17 October 1854 or service ashore.     Armstrong, R.
