India Perak & South Africa Zulu Medal Pair To Private H. Bunday, 80th Regiment of Foot (Staffordshire Regiment)

India General Service 1854-95, 1 clasp, Perak (1728. Pte. H. Bunday. 80th. Foot.); South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1878-9 (1728. Pte. H. Bunday. 80th. Foot.)
Henry Bunday is confirmed on the Indian Medal roll as entitled to the Medal with clasp Perak, for service on the Malay Peninsula between 27 November 1874 and 20 March 1876. This failed attempt by the Sultan of Upper Perak and other local chiefs to end foreign influence in the region resulted in the death of British administrator James W. W. Birch and the subsequent defeat of followers of Lela Pandak Lam by the British Army; the exile of key leaders and the hanging of those responsible for killing Birch ended any further direct opposition over British control in Perak.
Bunday was later engaged in operations against the Zulus, his Regiment witnessing extensive action at Intombe River and as part of the Flying Column under Brigadier General Sir Evelyn Wood at the Battle of Ulundi on 4 July 1879; the medal roll confirms his discharge shortly thereafter
