Khedive's Star, dated 1882, named to Sapper James Abraham, Royal Engineers. No man of this name appears on the medal rolls. A James Abraham attested as a Sapper, RE, on 15th September, 1888. It is presumed that it was he who had this Star named and, apparently, gilded. |

Khedive's Star, dated 1884-6, named to 17601 Shoeing Smith George McManus, 17th Co., Royal Engineers. In fact, his service in the Sudan was with 24th Co., and he appears on their roll as a Driver. |
It is interesting to note that Lee's regimental number has been impressed, and his surname and initial have been engraved. One might speculate that regimental numbers were impressed at Company level, but that individual soldiers preferred to add their names later.
