5927902 Victoria Cross, 1857, Captain John Grant Malcolmson, 3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry (metal) by British School, (19th century); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Victoria Cross, 1857.
Gallantry medal from a medal group of Captain John Grant Malcolmson (1835-1902), 3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry.
John Grant Malcolmson earned the Victoria Cross in 1857 for his actions at the Battle of Koosh-ab during the Persian War of 1856-57. During the battle, the 3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry, in which Malcolmson was serving as a Lieutenant, charged and broke a square of well-trained Persian infantry.
The London Gazette of 3 Aug 1860 described the action: Arthur Thomas Moore, Lieut. And Adjutant, and John Grant Malcolmson, Lieut. 3rd Bombay Native Cavalry. Date of Acts of Bravery: 8 Feb 1857. On the occasion of an attack on the enemy on the 8th Feb. 1857, led by Lt Col Forbes, Lt Moore, the Adjutant of the regiment, was perhaps the first of all by a horses length. His horse leaped into the square and instantly fell dead, crushing down his rider and breaking his sword as he fell amid the broken ranks of the enemy. Lt Moore speedily extricated himself, and attempted with his broken sword to force his way through the press; but would assuredly have lost his life had not the gallant young Lt Malcolmson, observing his peril, fought his way to his dismounted comrade through a crowd of enemies, to his rescue, and giving him his stirrup, safely carried him through everything out of the throng. The thoughtfulness for others, cool determination and ready activity shown in extreme danger by this young officer, Lt Malcolmson, appear to have been most admirable, and to be worthy of the highest honour.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prestigious Victoria Cross awarded to Captain John Grant Malcolmson in 1857. Crafted from metal, this gallantry medal holds immense historical significance. The photograph captures the intricate details of the cross, highlighting its elegant design and craftsmanship. Captain John Grant Malcolmson, a member of the 3rd Regiment of Bombay Light Cavalry, earned this esteemed honor for his remarkable bravery during the Battle of Koosh-ab in the Persian War of 1856-57. Serving as a Lieutenant at that time, he led his regiment in a daring charge that shattered a square formation of highly trained Persian infantry. The London Gazette described Malcolmson's heroic actions on February 8th, 1857. As Lieutenant Arthur Thomas Moore found himself trapped within enemy lines after his horse fell dead under him, it was Lt Malcolmson who fearlessly fought through hordes of adversaries to rescue his comrade-in-arms. With quick thinking and unwavering determination, he carried Lt Moore to safety amidst chaos and danger. Malcolmson's selflessness and courage were recognized with one of only three Victoria Crosses awarded during the Persian War. This exceptional piece serves as a testament to his thoughtfulness for others and unwavering dedication even in extreme perilous situations. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this photograph immortalizes Captain John Grant Malcolmson's extraordinary valor and reminds us all of the sacrifices made by brave soldiers throughout history.
