Presentation of a Sword to Major Hibbert, at Macclesfield, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Presentation of a Sword to Major Hibbert, at Macclesfield, 1856. The sword is described in the Macclesfield Courier as "a splendid specimen of the cutler's art." The blade is richly embossed, and bears on one side an inscription of the several engagements in which Major Hugh Robert Hibbert, 7th Fusiliers, has been engaged, each in a scroll, diagonally: Bulgaria; the Alma; Sortie, 26th Oct. 1854; Inkerman; the Trenches; Redan, 18th June; Redan, 8th September; Sebastopol...[The sword was presented to Major Hibbert] in acknowledgment and admiration of his heroic and gallant services to his Queen and country in the Crimean War...[The major had] received a dangerous compound fracture of the skull, which compelled his return to England). In the evening there was a banquet at the Townhall...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
