I asked about "on appeal" since it was the first time I had come across this term, having checked so many military records. Was this the Peninsula Medal that had to be applied for post 1847?
If the application was refused I wondered how the applicant proved entitlement.

Don't know about appealing. Presume it was a standard obstacle and others would have known. I'll keep an eye out for an answer. Thanks. "dyfal donc a dyr y garreg" Yn wir ! (Keep hammering to break the stone. True)

This is the General Order that appeared in the London Gazette, 1 June 1847 on "How to apply" and widely publicised in the newspapers.

The appeal procedure proving more elusive - tho' the papers make interesting reading until the medals began began to be distributed mid Jan 1849.

Just had a look. In the list of battles mentioned in the London Gazette pages you gave were the two battles that John Davies got bars on his medal...
Pyrenees, 28th July to. 2d (sic) August 1813.
Toulouse, 10th April 1814...
