    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.
